These words from the Argentine head coach, along with the recent remarks from Jordi Alba openly discussing the possible arrival of Suárez in the MLS for 2024, only serve to fuel rumours about the historic Uruguayan forward and former FC Barcelona star continuing his career with the Fort Lauderdale organization to reunite with Messi, Alba, and Busquets.
