The 37-year-old also recorded nine assists during the regular season, and added two goal-contributions in the 2024 MLS postseason, too.
“I’m very happy, very excited to continue for another year and to be able to enjoy being here with this fanbase, which for us is like family. We feel very, very connected with them, and hopefully, next year, we can bring them even more joy,” said Suárez.
Tata Martino recently stepped down from his position as manager of the club, and they have since replaced him with Suarez and Messi's former teammate Javier Mascherano – who led Argentina's U23 squad at the Paris Olympics.
WHAT INTER MIAMI SAID
“In 2024, Luis brought to Inter Miami all of the elements that make him one of the greatest strikers of all time. He performed at an elite level for us, and we’re excited to see that continue next season,” said President of Football Operations Raúl Sanllehí. “Luis was not only our leading scorer this season, but also a leader for the group. His impact cannot be understated.”
