INTER MIAMI manager Gerardo Martino has confirmed that he is keenon signing former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez.
Should Martino be successful in signing the Uruguayan, fans could be treated to the prospect of the forward once again linking up with Lionel Messi.
Messi, Suarez and Neymar formed the potent 'MSN' strikeforce which won the continental treble in the 2014-15 season consisting of LaLiga, The Champions League and the Copa Del Rey.
In total the trio played 113 matches together, scoring 253 goals.
Suarez was linked with a move to Miami over the summer but ultimately remained with Brazilian side Gremio.
Suarez joined Gremio in December 2022 partly due to its close proximity to his homeland of Uruguay.
