Inter Miami co-owner on the future of Lionel Messi's teammate Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez's contract with Inter Miami expires at the end of this month and so there has been speculation over his future. Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets have already announced their retirement from football. It is unclear whether Suarez will follow suit or extend with Lionel Messi & Co.

Amid these speculations, Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas shared his thoughts on the situation. and said:

“Luis Suarez is a football legend, he is one of the best nine not only of this generation but of all time. Luis will have to make a decision at the end of the season, so tomorrow. As for the club, I want to say this because I have read a lot about Luis, I will say it in this context: if at the beginning of the year they gave us an article about a center forward who played more than 4000 minutes and scored more than 15/16 goals and 16/17 assists, everyone here would sign this paper to have a striker like that.

“Luis deserves to be able to make this decision to be able to leave through the front door and be celebrated as he should be by the club. And if he decides to stay at the club for another year, that would be great. I would like to see Suárez stay. Obviously the discussions would be about how Luis Suárez would stay, but obviously we would include Mascherano and Luis, but the decision is his,” he added.

Suarez joined the Lionel Messi-led side in January 2024 and has recorded 42 goals and 29 assists in 87 matches across all competitions for them.
