Great news for Messi: one of his best friends at Barcelona to join Inter Miami

Inter Miami had the best year in their short history. Until July, they were last in the Eastern Conference standings and the worst team in the country. But the arrival of Lionel Messi changed everything. Helped by other stars like Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and coach Gerardo Martino, in a few weeks Leo completely transformed them.

And that was enough to win their first title, the Leagues Cup. In addition, they also reached the final of the US Open Cup and moved closer to qualifying for the Major League Soccer playoffs. But then came trouble: Messi suffered a muscle injury in early September while with the Argentina national team and missed most of the remaining games of the season. That was too much of a blow and they were unable to recover.

Already eliminated from MLS, The Herons will now have almost four months to rest thinking about next season. But coach Gerardo Martino and the club's chiefs are working hard to put together the new squad. They know they have improved a lot, but they are still missing some top players to be able to compete with the best teams in the country.

That is why they are close to agreeing the arrival of Luis Suarez. The former Barcelona striker is one of Lionel Messi's best friends and has been rumored for months to be an Inter Miami player. Right now he is playing for Gremio of Brazil, but it is a fact that he will not remain there once his contract expires in December of this year.

What will happen to him?

The Argentine journalist Cesar Merlo published on X information about the future of the Uruguayan striker: "Luis Suarez is a new reinforcement of Inter Miami. The Uruguayan striker will finish the year in Gremio and will join Lionel Messi's team in 2024. His contract will be for one season and Inter Miami will have the possibility to extend it for another one".
