Luis Suarez will be leaving Gremio at the end of the 2023 season, after agreeing an early exit with the club. His initial contract was set to expire in 2024, but he will now be leaving the club a year early to become a free agent.Â
The chance to join his friend Lionel Messi at Inter Miami has been identified as the main reason behind his desire to leave early. It was his request to originally sign a two-year deal with the club, but the opportunity to now move to the MLS and reunite with his former Barcelona teammates Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba has caused him to change his mind, according to Marca.Â

Should the player leave for Inter Miami, Gremio will not receive any transfer fee as he would be without a contract. The signing of the Uruguayan has been beneficial to the club, which has seen the number of members rise to an all-time high figure of 113,000.
The striker has scored 16 goals and provided nine assists in 32 games, in spite of having minor fitness issues. His leadership from the front has been crucial in their success, with the club currently third in the Brazilian Serie A.
