Luis Suárez Reveals Desire to Retire Alongside Lionel Messi

Inter Miami forward Luis Suárez has expressed his desire to end his professional career alongside his teammate and friend, Lionel Messi. Suárez emphasized that the decisions of both players are independent and based on their personal well-being.

“I would love to retire with him because we have been talking about retiring together for years, and it could happen. It could happen, but it also depends on my renewal, his renewal, and well, each of us will make the right decision at the right time”, said Suárez.

The contracts of Suárez and Messi with Inter Miami end at the end of the 2025 Major League Soccer season. Discussions between the club and Messi for an extension are ongoing, with both parties interested in continuing their relationship on and off the field. Suárez focuses on the present, highlighting his commitment to the growth of Inter Miami. “I am happy, I feel good physically, I feel that I am helping the team and well, if the club wants, obviously we will have no problem because there is nothing here that can weigh, but that we are both on the same path, that Inter continues to grow as a club, that we continue to be a tradition of bringing good players here and that the league continues to grow, is important”, he added. The Uruguayan striker has made it clear that he will not make a decision about his future immediately, preferring to focus on the present. “In football you always have plans, sometimes they go well, sometimes they go wrong, but what I have to do now at this moment is to have a short period that I am living, that I am living here at Inter and well, then we will see what will happen,” he commented.

Currently, Suárez and Inter Miami are preparing to face Tigres UANL in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday night at Chase Stadium. Coach Javier Mascherano confirmed that Messi is not ruled out for the match, despite training separately due to physical discomfort. Messi returned from a “small” muscle injury on Saturday night, entering in the second half of the 3-1 victory against Los Angeles Galaxy. Although he scored a goal and provided an assist, Mascherano confirmed that Messi did not feel 100% comfortable playing. Mascherano explained: “Leo didn’t train with the group; he trained separately. It was a bit like the same situation I described the other day after the match, when he felt uncomfortable during the 45 minutes he played. Nothing, we’ll see during tomorrow’s training. But he’s not ruled out. He’s not ruled out. I can’t tell you today if he will play or not. Because it depends a lot on how he feels.” The Inter Miami won the inaugural edition of the Leagues Cup in 2023, defeating Nashville SC on penalties to lift the trophy.
