The forward left Spain after 8 years in 2022 to play for Nacional in his native Uruguay, where he scored 8 in 14 games. He signs for the Brazilian outfit after winning La Liga titles with both FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.
He played for Uruguay at the Qatar World Cup 2022 and featured in all of Uruguay’s games, but he did not score. His only goal contribution came in the form of an assist against Ghana, but it was not enough to see his side advance past the first round due to other results in the group.
Vamos, @LuisSuarez9! Estamos preparados para conquistarmos grandes feitos juntos! 💪🏽🇪🇪 pic.twitter.com/P5pxKlPZJp
