Luis Suarez could reunite with Lionel Messi as Liverpool legend 'enters talks' over shock transfer

Liverpool icon Luis Suarez is reportedly in talks to sign for Inter Miami along with former Barcelona duo Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

The reports come just hours after Lionel Messi was confirmed as the latest arrival in the MLS. Following the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, there was a lot of speculation surrounding the future of the record Ballon d'Or winner with suggestions that he would make a fairytale return to Barcelona - a club where he enjoyed most of his success.

There were also discussions over a move to Saudi Arabia after Karim Benzema's switch to the Middle East following the end of the Frenchman's trophy-laden stint at Real Madrid.

Suarez, who enjoyed an eye-catching spell in the Premier League with the Reds, has been with Brazilian club Gremio since departing Spain. Since returning to South America, he has continued to show he still has quality to perform at the top level with the 36-year-old scoring 11 goals in 24 appearances.

However, TYC journalist Gaston Edul has revealed that the American franchise, owned by David Beckham, are in talks with Suarez, Busquets and Alba.

On Wednesday, the saga surrounding Messi's next club was sealed as he confirmed that he would be signing for Inter Miami. He told Mundo Deportivo: "I made the decision that I'm going to go to Miami. I still haven't closed it one hundred per cent.

"I'm missing some things but we decided to continue on the path. If the Barcelona thing didn't work out, I wanted to leave Europe, get out of the spotlight and think more for my family.

"I had offers from other European teams but I didn't even evaluate them because my idea was to go to Barcelona and, if that didn't come about, then leaving European football after winning the World Cup was what I needed," he continued.

"Now I will close my career in this country and experiencing the MLS in a different way, enjoying the day-to-day much more - but with the same responsibility of wanting to win and always doing things well but with more peace of mind.

"I am also in a moment where I want to get out of focus a bit, think more about my family. I spent two years at a family level that was so bad that I didn't enjoy it. I had the month that was spectacular for me for having won the World Cup, but removing that was a difficult stage for me."
