Since joining Inter Miami, Luis Suarez has quickly established himself as a powerful presence in MLS. Despite some age-related challenges, his ability to score goals is still exceptional. His contribution goes beyond just scoring; his diverse skill set is vital for head coach Javier Mascherano. Recently, the 38-year-old Uruguayan playfully compared himself to Harry Kane, referencing their impressive careers.
In a recent stream with DavooXeneize, Suarez discussed the best forwards in the game and shared his top three strikers. He mentioned Harry Kane as a standout example of a complete striker, highlighting his 161 assists. Suarez praised him, saying, “He has a lot.” Davo then reminded him that he has an impressive 315 assists to his name. With a smile, Suarez quipped, “Ah, he’s still far away.”
While Suarez enjoyed his best years at Liverpool and FC Barcelona, he continues to impress. At Inter Miami, he currently leads with 10 assists and has scored six goals. His ability to create space and contribute in ways that aren’t measured in statistics is crucial, as he supports teammates like Lionel Messi, Tadeo Allende, and Telasco Segovia.
Suarez’s career speaks volumes. Over 20 years, he has played 911 professional matches, scored 576 goals, and provided 315 assists. He stands as the third highest scorer in FC Barcelona’s history with 195 goals and has netted 69 for the Uruguayan national team. These achievements solidify his status among soccer’s elite, alongside icons like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Luis Suarez discusses his future with Inter Miami
Suarez remains a key player for Inter Miami, with his contract ending in December 2025, alongside Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, as noted by Transfermarkt. However, there have been no talks regarding a contract extension, raising uncertainty about his future with the franchise next season. Suarez shared his thoughts on these matters.
“I’m happy, I’m content. I feel good physically, I feel like I’m helping the team, and if the club wants me, obviously we won’t have any problems,” Suarez told ESPN. His comments suggest that financial factors may not influence his decision to renew. He expressed a desire to continue playing alongside Lionel Messi, even hinting at retiring together.
Inter Miami has yet to set a clear plan for life after Suarez’s eventual retirement. They have signed promising player Allen Obando, but his progress has been limited due to injuries, and since he is on loan, his long-term future with the club is uncertain. As a result, if Suarez retires, the team could be left with only Fabrice Picault, who, despite his versatility, does not naturally play as a striker.
