- Ageless, Ruthless, Relentless: Luis Suárez Commits to Inter Miami for 2026
Luis Suárez has once again proven that age is little more than a number. Inter Miami have confirmed that the veteran striker has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club for the 2026 Major League Soccer season following a historic campaign.
The former Uruguay international played a pivotal role in Inter Miami’s first-ever MLS Cup triumph, as they defeated Vancouver Whitecaps earlier this month. Despite turning 39 next month, Suárez enjoyed a remarkable 2025 season, registering 17 goals and 17 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions, underlining his enduring quality and influence in the final third.
Suárez initially joined Miami ahead of the 2024 season, reuniting with familiar faces from his Barcelona days — Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. While Busquets and Alba have since retired following the MLS Cup success, Suárez has opted to extend his stay after briefly becoming a free agent. His decision aligns him with Messi, who committed his future to the club until 2028 earlier this year.
The former Liverpool forward also helped Miami secure the Supporters’ Shield in his debut season, cementing his status as one of the most impactful signings in MLS history. However, his spell in the United States has not been without controversy. In August, Suárez received a nine-game ban for spitting on a Seattle Sounders staff member after Miami’s League Cup final defeat, adding to a long list of disciplinary flashpoints from his career.
Off the pitch, Miami continue to strengthen, with the club — co-owned by David Beckham — also completing the signing of former Tottenham and Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilón on a free transfer, as they prepare to defend their crown in 2026.
