LUIS SUAREZ has broken his silence on the speculation linking him with a move to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
The transfer would raise the prospect of Suarez and Messi reuniting two thirds of the iconic ‘MSN’ frontline which also included wantaway PSG forward Neymar.
But the forward spoke out to say that he is happy at Brazilian side Gremio, who he joined just six months ago.
On the speculation linking him with a move to Inter Miami, which began immediately after Messi’s transfer was announced, Suarez told Uruguayan publication El Observador: “This is false, it is impossible,
“‘I am very happy at Gremio and I have a contract until 2024.”
The Uruguayan forward signed for Gremio from his boyhood club Nacional in January after helping the Uruguayan club win the league.

And according to The Athletic, his salary will be paid in part by Adidas, Apple and the rest of the MLS’ clubs.
