Luis Suárez shook the world of football with the decision he made this Tuesday, June 20. ‘El Pistolero’ was one of the greats targeted by Inter Miami to accompany Lionel Messi on his adventure in the MLS and, although it was difficult due to the Uruguayan's current contract with Gremio until 2024, the door was not completely closed. However, in the last hours everything took a drastic turn.

According to the Esporte GZH outlet, Suárez told the board of directors of the Brazilian club that he is retiring from soccer due to his intense knee pain. A meeting has already been agreed to define the parties to continue with this measure by Luis, but it was anticipated that Gremio will put an 'anti Inter Miami' clause for fear that all this is a strategy to get free to the Florida franchise.

Undoubtedly, this announcement took everyone by surprise, since Suárez had been standing out with the Tricolor Gaúcho. Now, we will have to wait for the meeting to find out if the decision is maintained or they reach an agreement. If it is official, it will be the farewell to one of the best center forwards that football has produced in recent times.

What had Suárez said about retiring with Messi and Neymar?

Recently, the Pistolero had expressed thinking about the end of his career along with the other two members of MSN: "We hope to spend the last days of our career in the same club. Just enjoy the joy of soccer and play soccer as we like and retire together. I don't know about Neymar, but Messi and I will definitely be there together."
