Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez hints at retirement after last match with Gremio
After playing his last match for Brazilian club Gremio, Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez has hinted at retiring from football. The 36-year-old opened up about his decision after Gremio’s match against Vasco da Gama.
Suarez, who scored the winning goal for Gremio in the 46th minute of the match, expressed his emotions on the field alongside his family members. “It hurts a lot. Now the body is talking. I am leaving after a long career. Now rest. Spend more time with family. We have to see where we will be in the future,” Suarez said.
In 52 games this year, Suarez scored 24 goals and recorded 17 assists, marking an impressive season for the veteran player. He had previously expressed his desire to play with superstar Lionel Messi, and there were rumors that he was preparing to play for Major League Soccer Club Inter Miami alongside Messi.
Suarez’s coach at Gremio, Renato Gaucho, described him as the best player the club has ever had and presented him with a recorded DVD of his career highlights. Suarez moved to Gremio earlier this year from Nacional and has had a successful career, winning 24 trophies for seven clubs and accumulating 555 goals and 302 assists.
There are indications that Suarez’s decision to retire may be influenced by a recurring left knee injury that has plagued him throughout his career. He underwent surgery on his left knee in 2014 while playing for Liverpool and again in 2020 as part of Barcelona.
The news of Suarez’s retirement has left fans disappointed, but they continue to celebrate his remarkable career and achievements in the world of football.
