Gremio coach Renato Gaucho has revealed that Inter Miami’s interest in signing Gremio star Luis Suarez is causing complications for the Brazilian club.
Inter Miami is keen on reuniting the Uruguayan attacker with his former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi, who recently joined the MLS side.
Suarez himself is eager to make the move to the United States, as confirmed by the coach.
However, Gremio is hesitant to let go of Suarez, leading to a challenging situation for the club. The pursuit of Suarez by Inter Miami has become an issue as Gremio tries to handle the potential departure of their star player.
“Suarez is now a problem that is in the president’s hands. They are exchanging ideas. As a coach I have to focus on leading the team.” the coach said at a press conference. “It seems like a Mexican soap opera that should end now. Until August 2 I’m quiet, then we’ll see how we continue.”
He added: “Of course we want Suarez to stay. I can’t vouch for him. I know what he thinks and what the club thinks. For now, he has been talking to the board and the president.”
Suarez, 36, spent six years playing alongside Messi at Barcelona and won the Champions League along with four La Liga titles.
If he joins Inter Miami this summer, he will also team up with ex-Barca co-stars Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba at the Florida club.
The Uruguay international will hope to have his future resolved before long as he eyes a move to Miami.
