During a conversation with DelSol, Suarez discussed the possibility of transferring to Real Madrid, which was contingent on Karim Benzema’s departure to join Arsenal. The esteemed Barcelona striker elucidated how his infamous altercation with Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup, along with the subsequent ban, dissuaded Real Madrid from pursuing him and consequently led to Benzema remaining in Madrid.
Reflecting on the prospective move to Madrid, Suarez remarked: “Before the 2014 World Cup, Real Madrid wanted me as they wanted to sell Benzema to Arsenal. Barcelona at the time was [also] interested and Luis Enrique was pressing.”
“The bite case happened and Barcelona continued to want to sign me despite the punishment. I will always be grateful for that.”
Suarez ultimately joined Barcelona, forming a formidable attacking trio with Messi and Neymar, which is hailed as one of the greatest in the sport’s history. However, Madrid’s patience with Benzema eventually paid off, as the Frenchman departed the club after achieving numerous accolades, including a Ballon d’Or, five Champions League titles, and four La Liga championships. Meanwhile, Arsenal opted for Danny Welbeck that summer and have yet to effectively address their persistent striker issues.
Suarez has recently signed with Inter Miami, reuniting with Lionel Messi once again. Had the Uruguayan opted for a move to Madrid to partner with Cristiano Ronaldo, he might have been tempted by an offer from Al-Nassr instead.
