Inter Miami have agreed a deal to sign Luis Suarez ESPN.
Suarez, 36, currently plays for Gremio and will sign a one-year contract with an option for a second.
The deal means he will reunite his ex-Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in the MLS.
As noted by ESPN, Gremio manager Renato Gaucho confirmed last month that the striker would leave the Brazilian club in December – at the end of the Brazilian Serie A season.
Suarez had also previously admitted that MLS had contacted his club mid-year.
Since joining Brazilian side Gremio in 2022, Luis Suarez has scored 17 goals in 37 games

He signed a two-year contract with Gremio in December 2022, which now appears to have expired prematurely.
Meanwhile, the Herons also released forward Josef Martinez at the end of the MLS regular season.
The striker has made 20 appearances for Miami, with Suarez now set to reprise his former role alongside Messi.
The pair spent six seasons together at Barcelona between 2014 and 2020, with La Blaugrana winning four league titles and one Champions League during that period.
Suarez scored an impressive 146 goals in La Liga in just 191 games, and his numbers in Brazil weren’t bad either.
Since joining Gremio last year, the Uruguayan has scored 17 goals in 37 games.
Messi, Busquets and Alba helped Miami to its first Leagues Cup trophy after arriving, but the team – which was last in the MLS when the trio joined – ultimately failed to make the postseason.
