Luis Suárez has rejected an official offer from Brazil’s Grêmio, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports via Twitter. The 35-year-old Uruguayan is currently transfer-free after his contract with his childhood sweetheart Nacional expired. There is a good chance that Suárez will only look at all the options that come his way after the World Cup. Uruguay will face South Korea, Portugal and Ghana in the group stage.
According to Romano, the interest of Grêmio, the former top striker of Liverpool and Barcelona, among others, does nothing. “He has other plans for his next club.” It is not yet clear what those plans are. During his return to Nacional, Suárez made 16 appearances for the club. The right leg was good for eight goals and three assists in those duels. With his childhood sweetheart, he became national champion of Uruguay for the second time in his career.
Suárez gave another big interview last month Mark about the motive for the transfer to his home country. “I had a lot of options (in Europe, ed.). A lot. But the consideration behind the return to my country was this: FC Groningen, Ajax, Liverpool, Barça, Atlético; can you have a better European career? I wouldn’t have wanted to play for a lesser team than Atlético. The trajectory was perfect. I would have lowered the bar, so it seemed logical to return to Uruguay. To complete a circle.”
Suárez will play his fourth World Cup with Uruguay this summer. He was accurate for his country in all three final tournaments he played. During the 2010 World Cup, the striker had to miss the semi-final against the Netherlands (2-3 defeat) due to a suspension. In total, Suárez already played 134 international matches for Uruguay, in which he scored 68 goals and 38 assists.
