The Uruguayan striker had the option of being part of Marcelo Gallardo’s team, but closed this alternative after being left out of the fight for the continental trophy.
Luis Suárez will have to keep looking for a team in which to develop his career. One of the main options he handled after being released following his departure from Atlético de Madrid was River Plate.
However, this scenario changed after this Wednesday. The main reason was the elimination of the Millonarios from the Copa Libertadores against Vélez Sarsfield, in a match where the critics were targeting Roberto Tobar, after disallowing a goal against the reds and whites after being called up by VAR.
This was confirmed by the Uruguayan himself during a dialogue with Ovación. “If I were to think and get excited about the possibility of River, the same would happen with that of Nacional which was my home “, he pointed.
“He was very excited about the possibility of going to River to fight for the Copa Libertadores . It was a dream that I had to win a cup in South America. VSAs River was left out, this possibility falls away. added the shooter.
“A month and a half ago I said I was not going to leave Europe, but River insisted and insisted so much that I came to consider it and there was a possibility. As much as we say something, when the time comes we think about it. You are delighted that they love you so much. The player needs affection. River gave it to me and Nacional could have tried that “, closed the player.
Suárez has the idea of continuing to play matches in competitive leagues in order to continue polishing his game for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which will be played in a few months yet, and thus avoid running the risk of being relegated . by another compatriot.
This has been one of the brakes that has prevented Major League Soccer from exiting the United States for now, an option they would start considering once the World Cup is over.
