The Serie A team Gremio in Brazil has announced that Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez would sign a two-year deal with the club on a free transfer, which runs through the end of 2024.
After just three months and 16 games, during which he scored eight goals and captured the Uruguayan title, Suarez departed his boyhood club Nacional in October.
With Ajax Amsterdam, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, the 35-year-old veteran has prior success on the continent.
“One of the biggest in Uruguay’s history, Luis Suarez is coming to continue his victorious trajectory,” Gremio wrote on social media.
“A top goal scorer, a multiple champion, and a fighter. Welcome, Luisito.”
After spending Christmas with Lionel Messi in Rosario, Argentina, Suarez has joined the Gremio of Porto Alegre.
“I wanted to thank you for all the love I have received,” Suárez said in a video posted on social media. “We will meet shortly.”
On January 17, 2023, Gremio will face Sao Luiz in the Recopa Gaucha Super Cup.
