Gremio in Brazil has signed Luis Suarez to a two-year contract.
The Uruguayan striker, who left his hometown club Nacional as a free agent, will continue his career in Brazil.
Cruz Azul of Mexico sought Suarez, but Gremio prevailed in the battle for his signature.
Gremio, a Porto Alegre-based team, announced the 35-year-old’s signing on New Year’s Eve.
Suarez helped Nacional to win the Primera Division title after returning to his homeland following his Atletico Madrid exit.
The veteran won four LaLiga titles during a hugely successful spell with Barcelona and claimed another with Atleti in the 2020-21 campaign.
He also lifted the Champions League trophy at Barca in 2015.
Suarez won the Copa America with Uruguay in 2011, and is his country’s all-time top goalscorer, with 68 in 137 games, though he failed to net during their recent World Cup campaign at Qatar 2022.
ELE VEIO! 🇪🇪🇺🇾 2023 vem aí e, com ele, @LuisSuarez9! O atacante uruguaio é o novo #ReforçoTricolor para os desafios da próxima temporada. Um dos maiores do futebol mundial no maior do Sul! 💪🏽
