Inter Miami has confirmed that Luis Suárez will stay with the team until the end of the 2026 MLS season. This news ends the uncertainty about his future and ensures that fans will have at least one more year to see Suárez and Messi play together.
This partnership has crossed leagues and eras, and now it gets another chance to shine in Miami. Suárez’s decision to extend his contract shifts attention back to his contributions on the field instead of any thoughts about retirement. Since joining the team before the 2024 season, he has shown he is far from stepping back.
Inter Miami has quickly become a prominent name in football, and Suárez has been key to this rise. What started as a nostalgic reunion has evolved into a competitive force. This extension keeps one of the most skilled strikers on the field for another season, allowing fans to continue enjoying the chemistry between him and Messi.
Suarez’s Impact Continues in Miami
When Suárez joined Miami, there were questions about his capabilities. However, those doubts were quickly dismissed. In his first full season, Inter Miami achieved a Supporters’ Shield, setting a new MLS points record. The following year, Miami won the MLS Cup in 2025, with Suárez playing a vital role in key matches.
During 2025, Suárez participated in 50 games, scoring 17 goals and providing 17 assists. These stats are impressive for any MLS forward, especially for someone nearing 40. Over his time with Inter Miami, he has scored 42 goals and made 30 assists in 87 matches, making him one of the club’s top players in a short span. What stands out is not just his scoring but how he adjusts his game. Suárez no longer relies solely on speed.
His positioning in the box, spatial awareness, and capability to drop back make him a constant threat to defenders. While MLS teams prepare for Messi, they also need to keep a close watch on Suárez.
This contract extension reflects this understanding. Inter Miami is not just holding onto a past star; they are keeping a forward who can still influence games and perform in crucial moments.
