Previously, Suarez has spoken about the close bond the two families share, saying: "With Leo [Messi] the friendship will always be off the field, on the field everyone has their own goal," adding "going out to eat with the women is a plus, because you know that when you go out with your friends, your wife is going to be accompanied, something that is difficult."

What is for certain is that Suarez is currently expected to depart his current club in December after Gremio agreed to cut down his contract by a year.
Since then, the former Barcelona marksman has continued to make his mark in Porto Alegre, notching 26 times in 49 appearances in his only season with the club. The 36-year-old forward also bagged a hat-trick during in a dramatic 4-3 win versus Botafogo recently.

He previously explained: "I feel that next year I will not be able to perform due to my fitness and the high demands of the Brazilian championship."
Miami boss Gerardo Martino has already outlined that he and his coaching staff have already been preparing for the Uruguayan's potential arrival. Although he did concede that allowances have been made for a deal with the veteran forward not being completed, he did not deny that David Beckham securing Suarez's services was a possibility.
Speaking at a press conference before the end of the season, he said: "Within our analysis of the upcoming season, and the needs we may have, we have an analysis with Luis and an analysis without Luis. So when the moment arrives to make Suarez’s situation with respect to Inter Miami official, we’ll be prepared to go in the corresponding direction."
