Miami Inter secures fresh deal with another ex-team companion of Messi's.
Inter Miami Lands Uruguayan Striker Luis Suárez
Welcome the latest addition to Inter Miami's roster! After lengthy negotiations, the American football club has sealed a deal for Luis Suárez, Uruguay's star striker. As reported by popular insider Fabrizio Romano, the Florida-based club and Suárez have agreed on a 1+1 contract, with the official announcement set to drop soon.
Coining Suárez's Cash
The financial details of the deal are being kept under wraps, but previous reports hint that Suárez will pull in approximately $4 million per year in Miami. This seems to include a hefty upfront payment matched under the contract terms.
Showing His Skills in the Past Year
Suárez spent the outgoing season with Brazilian club Gremio and claimed the title for the best player in the country's championship, bagging 17 goals and setting up another 11. In total, he played 53 games in various tournaments for his former team, netting 26 goals and racking up 17 assists.
Counting Down to Their First Day
Suárez's existing contract is set to expire on December 31. From the stroke of midnight, the new year will mark his official debut as Messi's teammate in Miami. It's noteworthy that Suárez shared the field with Leo Messi between 2014 and 2020 during their time together at Barcelona. Apart from Messi, Suárez's ex-Barcelona mates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets also await him in Florida.
Insights on Suárez's Salary at Inter Miami
While the exact salary or contract value for Suárez at Inter Miami has not been made public, league norms offer some context. Lionel Messi, also at Inter Miami, commands an annual salary of around $12 million. Typically, MLS designated players like Suárez receive paychecks significantly surpassing the league minimum of $104,000, settling in the multi-million dollar bracket but generally way below Messi's top earnings. Thus, Suárez's yearly salary should be in the millions but less than Messi's $12 million salary.
Suárez's joining fee is rumored to amount to approximately $4 million per year in Miami, with a substantial upfront payment included in the contract. His existing contract is due to expire on December 31, signifying his official debut with Inter Miami in the new year, playing alongside former teammate Lionel Messi and ex-Barcelona colleagues Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. While the specific salary or contract length for Suárez at Inter Miami remains undisclosed, given MLS norms, it's expected that his earnings would be in the millions but lower than Messi's $12 million. The terms of his agreement with the Florida-based football club will be officially unveiled soon.
