LIONEL MESSI is set to be reunited with former team-mate Luis Suarez in a sensational move.
Suarez, 36, is on the verge of joining Messi in Miami according to journalist Gaston Edul.
Suarez had been plying his trade for Brazilian Serie A side Gremio but looks set to swap Brazil for Miami to link up with his old strike partner.
The deal follows Lionel Messi’s official unveiling as an Inter Miami player last night where he was unveiled to a star-studded crowd by David Beckham.
The two have remained close since their Barcelona says and Miami have been keen to reunite the pair all summer.
But Suarez had previously poured water on the prospect of a move state-side, insisting he was happy at Gremio which is located close to his homeland of Uruguay.
