Luis Suarez is on the cusp of a momentous move, set to team up with none other than his long-time compadre Lionel Messi at the glamorous MLS club, Inter Miami. According to a reliable report by journalist Gaston Edul, the 36-year-old striker, who has been showcasing his football prowess with Brazilian outfit Gremio, is inching closer to a switch to the American side.
Since joining Gremio in January, Suarez has been in fine form, delighting fans with 13 goals and nine assists in just 30 matches.
The negotiations between Suarez and Inter Miami have been underway for some time now, and encouraging progress has been made, infusing the American club with confidence that the deal will soon be sealed.
The prospect of reuniting with his former Barcelona teammate and close friend Messi is undoubtedly a major driving force for Suarez. Messi himself was recently unveiled as a new Inter Miami signing, causing waves of excitement among fans. Another Barca star, Sergio Busquets, followed suit, joining the Florida-based club the day after Messi’s announcement.
Looking back at his time with Barcelona, Suarez’s stint was nothing short of remarkable. Scoring an impressive 195 goals in just 283 appearances and being a crucial part of 13 triumphant campaigns during his successful six-year tenure at Camp Nou, he undoubtedly etched his name in football history.
As Inter Miami fortifies its ranks with former Barcelona talent, they are not stopping there. Jorge Mas, the club’s president, has confirmed that Jordi Alba, a free agent, has inked a deal to join the Herons, adding another jewel to their crown.
In the meantime, the Premier League is buzzing with transfer news as well. Everton has reportedly expressed interest in securing the services of Leicester City’s striker, Kelechi Iheanacho. With the player’s contract entering its final year and Leicester’s recent relegation to the Championship, his future with the Foxes has become uncertain.
Everton’s interest indicates their intent to make a move for Iheanacho, although financial constraints have been an issue. Nevertheless, they seem poised to utilize funds from player sales, such as Ellis Simms and possibly Neal Maupay, to finance the potential deal.
Iheanacho’s career has been a tale of success since his days at Manchester City, culminating in his £25 million move to Leicester in 2017. Scoring 55 goals and providing 33 assists across 206 games in all competitions, he has proven himself as a formidable force on the field.
While Everton has managed to secure the services of Ashley Young as their sole summer signing so far, the English top-flight remains ablaze with transfer activity.
Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba is reportedly on the verge of making a permanent move to newly-promoted Luton Town. Having spent the latter half of the previous season on loan at Kenilworth Road, Nakamba’s solid performances have impressed Luton Town’s management. Negotiations have been fruitful, and it is expected that the deal will be finalized within the next 48 hours.
Nakamba’s time at Villa has seen a decline in playing opportunities, leading to no appearances for the club last season. However, his talents have not gone unnoticed by Hatters boss Rob Edwards, who is eager to bring the defensive midfielder on board.
Adding to their summer signings of Chiedozie Ogbene, Mads Andersen, and Tahith Chong, Luton Town is showing their ambition and commitment to bolster their squad for the challenges of top-tier football.
