Lionel Messi's Inter Miami teammate Luis Suarez is nearing the end of his stint with the club, with the striker reportedly considering retirement. The contract of the 38-year-old former Liverpool striker is set to expire at the end of the year, and his renewal is in doubt.
AS journalist Eduardo Burgos has revealed that Suarez is not expected to continue with the MLS outfit beyond the 2025 regular season. The striker has enjoyed a very successful stint in the USA, but could return to Uruguay or hang up his boots.

Luis Suarez has been a hit since arriving in the MLS, scoring 34 goals over the course of two seasons with the Herons.

Suarez joined Inter Miami to play alongside Lionel Messi once more, and could now decide to bring his career to an end. The striker has enjoyed a hugely successful career, winning club trophies in Spain, the Netherlands, Brazil, and his native Uruguay.
Inter Miami handed Suarez a new contract in January following his impressive debut campaign. Javier Mascherano's side will benefit from allowing the experienced striker to leave the club at the end of his deal, as it will open up a roster spot. Suarez is one of the club's highest earners, and getting his salary off their books will allow the club to target other younger players.
