Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba will soon have some company from the past.

Those prominent members of one of the best Barcelona teams in history, the one that won the treble under Luis Enrique, will welcome Luis Suarez to complete the dream that David Beckham has been working on since he first arrived at Inter Miami.

The Uruguayan goalscorer was pivotal to that team, before he was allowed to leave for Atletico Madrid. He then made Los Colchoneros champions with 21 decisive goals.

Luis Suarez is the icing on the cake at Inter Miami

As well as being a top player, he is Messi‘s best friend, with the Argentine having been the catalyst for this curious project in Major League Soccer.

Not even the sudden appearance of Saudi Arabia and their infinite money has prevented the Inter Miami project from ending up being a reconstruction of that Barcelona team.

The icing on the cake was missing, the goalscorer, the man who finished off every chance that fell to him.

That was his role in Luis Enrique’s Barcelona, which rather curiously was a team that started with sizable problems.

There were problems between the stars and the coach, but they ended up winning the Champions League, and that still represents Los Cules’ most recent continental success.

Settling the situation with Gremio

The fact that Suarez is not already in the United States is due to the difficulties that Gremio have caused him with regards to breaking his contract.

Once he does manage to end that deal in Brazil, and sources close to the player speak of December for that to happen, one of the most curious joint moves in recent football history will have been completed.
