Luis Suarez's Retirement Approaches as His Inter Miami Future is in Doubt
Luis Suarez's Retirement Approaches as His Inter Miami Future is in Doubt originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Following Inter Miami's elimination from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup this past weekend, the future of a few stars at the club has become uncertain. The Herons are set to let go of one of their biggest names at the club, Luis Suarez. Advertisement The Uruguayan striker currently has a contract with the club until the end of the 2025 MLS Season, which is the end of the year. He signed a contract extension with Inter Miami last November. Currently 38 years old, Suarez's future at Inter Miami has become less likely to continue as the club is reportedly looking for younger options ahead of 2026. Eduardo Burgos from Diario AS reports that unless there is a last-minute surprise, Suarez is expected not to continue at Inter Miami in 2026. His future in soccer has also become uncertain. Why Luis Suarez may retire after Inter Miami? Burgos' report suggests that there are talks within Suarez's camp that retirement is a realistic option to take if he does not continue with Inter Miami. Suarez will turn 39 years old in January. Advertisement A couple of weeks ago, Suarez announced a new Uruguayan club he formed along with Lionel Messi. Rumors assume that the Uruguayan striker may put his full focus on the project, especially if he retires. Inter Miami is set to become more ambitious in the next couple of months, as the Club World Cup painted a picture of how the team competes against some of the best teams in the world. The club seems more focused on convincing Messi to stay by bringing elite players to create a competitive team. With this latest report, Suarez is not part of the plans. Suarez played in all four of Inter Miami's Club World Cup games in June. His most notable game was the 2-2 draw against Palmeiras, where he scored and assisted. What's Next for Suarez and Inter Miami? After the Club World Cup, Inter Miami is expected to return to MLS action this weekend. Inter Miami has seven games scheduled for July. Advertisement Inter Miami will travel to Canada to take on Montreal on July 5. Inter Miami has six MLS games to play this month, and it is yet to be known if Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano plans to rotate players during these games. Inter Miami's games in July July 5 - Montreal (Away) July 9 - New England (Away) July 12 - Nashville SC (Home) July 16 - FC Cincinnati (Away) July 19 - NY Red Bulls (Away) July 26 - FC Cincinnati (Home) July 30 - Atlas FC (Home) Suarez is expected to play most of these games, while others like Messi and Jordi Alba are expected to be rotated.

Report: Spurs criticised as top player hints at recovery mismanagement
Cristian Romero may have returned to the pitch, but his words suggest the wounds of a turbulent few months have yet to heal. The Argentina international has subtly expressed his dissatisfaction with how Tottenham Hotspur handled his recent injury issues—raising eyebrows both within the club and among potential suitors across Europe. Romero, who had been sidelined with ankle, toe and hamstring complaints, missed a significant chunk of the season. His absence, combined with an ever-growing injury list, has undercut Spurs' campaign and left manager Ange Postecoglou battling both results and unavailability. The team is staring down the barrel of their worst Premier League finish in two decades. Romero played the full 90 minutes in Argentina's World Cup qualifying victory over Uruguay—just his second complete outing since early November. His post-match comments, however, struck a nerve back in north London. 'I didn't have a good few months because it was an injury that I could have returned much sooner from,' Romero said in Montevideo. 'I'm always grateful that the national team's medical team was able to get me out of that bad moment and get me back on the field, which is what I like to do.' The implications were unmistakable. While couched in praise for his national side, it read as a thinly veiled criticism of Spurs' medical staff. Spanish journalist Eduardo Burgos reported that Romero is 'deeply upset' with Tottenham's handling of his recovery and warned that 'trouble is brewing.' For a player who wears the vice-captain's armband and embodies the team's fighting spirit, this growing tension is far from ideal. Cuti Romero, sobre su lesión: 'Agradezco que el equipo médico de la selección haya podido sacarme de ese mal momento'. El defensa quedó muy disgustado por la forma con la que el cuerpo médico del Tottenham llevó su lesión. Se viene lío. — Eduardo Burgos (@edu17burgos) March 22, 2025 The 26-year-old's loyalty is now being tested as transfer rumours swirl. European champions Real Madrid are believed to be monitoring the situation closely. Having failed to sign a centre-back since 2022, and still seeking a long-term replacement after Eder Militao's arrival, the Spanish giants may see Romero as a ready-made solution. Romero has carved his path through Italy and now England after emerging at Belgrano in Argentina. While his on-pitch commitment has never been in question, this off-field discord could shape his next move. If Tottenham cannot rebuild trust, both medically and emotionally, they risk losing one of their most influential figures.
