Inter Miami CF has announced a contract extension for legendary Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, keeping him at the club through the 2025 MLS season. Suárez was instrumental in Inter Miami’s record-breaking 2024 campaign, where the team won its first Supporters’ Shield and set a single-season points record.
In 2024, Suárez was a top MLS scorer, netting 20 goals and providing 9 assists in 27 regular-season games. He was also the team’s leading scorer across all competitions with 25 goals and finished second in the league's top scorers, sharing the spot with teammate Lionel Messi. Beyond his scoring, Suárez had a significant leadership role, contributing both on and off the pitch.
Suárez, formerly known for his career at clubs like FC Barcelona and Grêmio, initially joined Inter Miami in December 2023. His return in 2025 comes after a strong debut season in MLS. The club’s president of football operations, Raúl Sanllehí, praised Suárez for his elite performance and leadership qualities.
In the current 2025 season, Suárez has already made his impact felt, scoring multiple goals in both MLS matches and CONCACAF Champions Cup fixtures. He also became the second oldest player to score in the FIFA Club World Cup at 38 years and 151 days. Despite a minor disciplinary fine early in the season related to a conduct incident during a match, Suárez remains a decisive attacking force for Inter Miami.
Suárez retired from international football in late 2023 as Uruguay’s all-time top scorer with 69 goals in 143 appearances, including winning the 2011 Copa América. His continuation with Inter Miami solidifies his status as a key figure in the club’s ambitions moving forward.
