Speaking about Suarez’s potential exit, Gremio boss Renato Gaucho admitted it would take a miracle for the striker to stay at the club.
As per GOAL, he said: “It will take a miracle [for Suarez to stay]. He already has plans for 2024. He made that clear a few months ago and I’m not expecting a miracle. It’s his decision.
“I’d like him to stay, but we have to be honest with our fans. If he ends up staying, it’ll be a miracle, and that miracle comes down to him.”
Saurez has previously spoken about a move to the MLS, he told Cadena Ser, as per the Daily Mirror: “With Messi in Miami in a few years? Hopefully. On and off the pitch we’ve been good together.
“There is nothing better than seeing two colleagues happy outside so that they perform inside.”
