In the summer of 2023, Inter Miami welcomed the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi to their squad, and shortly after his arrival, they celebrated a historic Leagues Cup triumph. Alongside the iconic Argentine, former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have also joined the Florida-based team.

Adding to the reunion tour, veteran Uruguayan striker Suarez is now part of the Inter Miami lineup. The club has openly expressed its ambition to compete on all fronts in the upcoming campaign, targeting success in the pursuit of four trophies. With Suarez, a prolific 36-year-old striker, on board, the team aims to secure multiple pieces of silverware.

Suarez’s presence is expected to significantly contribute to this goal, given his continued effectiveness in the attacking third. His strong connection and understanding with Messi, coupled with their quick reacquaintance on the training field, bode well for Inter Miami’s prospects.

As they gear up for a busy pre-season, Inter Miami is set to play their first friendly match against El Salvador on Friday. While Messi is part of the traveling squad, his participation in upcoming matches against teams like Vissel Kobe, Newell’s Old Boys, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr is yet to be determined.
