Luis Suarez reportedly makes final decision on future with Lionel Messi, Inter Miami

Inter Miami and Luis Suarez agreed on his continuation with the team for the upcoming season. As reported by Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald, the player has agreed to one-year contract, which might mark the final chapter of his career alongside Lionel Messi, given that he has turned 39 years old.

“Luis Suarez is finalizing a contract to return to Inter Miami for one final season, according to a club source,” reported Kaufman. Suarez was instrumental in helping Inter Miami secure the MLS title last season, alongside stars like Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets.

This announcement reinforces Inter Miami’s ambitions for the upcoming season. The primary challenge they face is the Concacaf Champions League, one of the few trophies missing from their collection, having already clinched the MLS Cup, Leagues Cup, and the MLS Supporters’ Shield.

Suarez joined the team last season specifically to achieve the MLS Cup title, and he delivered alongside his fellow players. As confirmation of his role in the squad for the 2026 season draws near, it shows the team’s trust in his abilities.
