While at Liverpool he earned 6 million, the ridiculous salary Luis Suarez would earn at Inter Miami

At 36 years of age and with a career of consecration, the Uruguayan footballer Luis Suárez could join his great friend, none other than the football star Lionel Messi, next season 2024 in the MLS with Inter Miami. Because of his age and career, it is normal that the 'pistolero' has serious physical conditions that do not allow him to continue playing. His battered body is asking him to stop, but his emotions are asking him to carry on and continue enjoying football, especially with his friend Leo.

The fact that he is in terrible physical condition is not a value judgement, as it was Luis Suárez himself who confessed in an interview how hard it has become to continue playing football and the suffering he is experiencing with his knee. In a conversation with a local radio station in his native Uruguay, he confessed that before every game he takes up to three pills and an injection because it would be almost impossible to move his knee and perform as he has accustomed all his fans to. "The days before each game I take three pills and hours before playing I get a Voltaren injection. Otherwise I can't play. Hence the limp," he told Radio 890 Sport.

The veteran footballer also confessed that he is suffering from arthrosis that is too much to bear and fears that in five years' time he won't even be able to play with his friends in meetings. "What I feel is a constant pinch in my knee. Luckily it doesn't generate fluid because I couldn't even move it, but it gets stuck and I can't even bend it (...) Now I can bear this arthrosis, but I have to think that in five years I might not be able to play football with my friends", he explained.

The wage gap

While in his time with Liverpool, Luis Suarez received a salary of 6 million a year being one of the best players in the Premier League and being close to the title in 2014 along with Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge led by Brendan Rodgers, now according to rumours he could receive a salary of 1.7 million at Inter Miami which would be much lower than what he received with the Reds.
