Luis Suarez 'agrees deal with Inter Miami' after deciding to cut short Gremio spell
The Uruguyan striker is in line to link up with former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in Florida
Former Barcelona and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has reportedly agreed a deal to sign for Inter Miami after deciding to cut short his spell at Brazilian club Gremio.
Suarez signed a two-year deal with the Porto Alegre-based side in December 2022, but coach Renato Gaucho announced that the 36-year-old will be leaving after just 12 months of that arrangement when Brazil's Serie A season concludes next month.
And according to ESPN, Suarez has now agreed a one-year contract with Inter Miami, with the option of a second season.
With a verbal agreement reportedly in place, Suarez is expected to put pen to paper on a move to Miami soon.
The Uruguay legend was strongly linked with a move to Miami after leaving Nacional in his homeland, but ultimately signed for Gremio instead.
A move to Miami would see him link up with former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba - as well as ex-Barça coach Gerardo Martino.
Martino recently confirmed Inter Miami's interest in signing Suarez.
