While Messi earns $50 million, this will be Luis Suarez's salary at Inter Miami

Inter Miami had a good year 2023. Since the arrival of Lionel Messi in July, they raised their level and became one of the best teams in the country. That allowed them to win the Leagues Cup title and reach the final of the US Open Cup. However, at the beginning of September Leo suffered a muscle injury while he was with the Argentine National Team that prevented him from playing the decisive matches of the season. That was a major blow for the Herons, who without their top star failed to qualify for the Major League Soccer playoffs.

Now that the season is over for them, the main objective of coach Gerardo Martino and the club's chiefs is to start putting together the squad for next year. They know that what they have now will not be enough to compete for the league title, so they will try to add more top players.

It is a fact that Luis Suarez will be an Inter Miami player. His friendship with Lionel Messi and his undisputed quality make him a star coveted by many teams around the world. It is already confirmed that he will not remain at Gremio of Brazil once his contract expires on December 31, 2023 and, from then on, he will become a free agent and will be able to negotiate with any team.

Boss Martino has already publicly announced that Josef Martínez will not continue at the side next season. The Venezuelan striker was on loan from Atlanta United and will have to return there in 2024. As he was one of the three designated players of Inter Miami (along with Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets), his departure will allow the chiefs to offer that place to Luis Suarez.

How much will he earn?

Lionel Messi is the highest paid player not only on the team but in all of MLS. His salary is almost $50 million. At Inter Miami the second highest earner is Sergio Busquets ($10 million per year, according to Goal website). Considering that Luis Suarez will also be a designated player, it is likely that his salary will be similar to that of the Spanish midfielder. This will be great news for him, as he only earns $4 million at Gremio.
