Tata Martino, Inter Miami's manager, has spoken previously of planning to include the striker in his squad for next season. There have also been reports that Miami and Gremio have already agreed a deal for Suarez to move in the winter, but it remains to be seen if the Uruguayan will have a change of heart.
DID YOU KNOW?
Suarez and Messi played in 258 games together for Barcelona. In that time, they were involved in 99 goals together, either scoring or assisting. It is an astonishing record, and one Inter Miami would sorely love to add to.

It remains to be seen what decision Suarez will take, but his future is likely to be a topic of conversation until he finalises either his move to MLS or his stay at Gremio.
