Luis Suarez will be reunited with some familiar faces when he joins Inter Miami.
Suarez is expected to join the MLS club on a one-year deal following his final game at Brazilian club Gremio this weekend.
Waiting to welcome the 36-year-old Uruguayan striker will be Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets – who all joined Miami over the summer.
The quartet enjoyed unprecedented success during their time at Barcelona – including a treble-winning campaign of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Uefa Champions League titles in 2014/15.
His reunion with Messi will be especially emotional and, Miami hope, as prolific as their days together in Spain; during their six years at Camp Nou (2014-2020) Suarez and Messi scored 502 goals between them.
Marauding left-back Alba and metronomic midfielder Busquets also shared in that success. We take a look at the quartet's time at Barcelona.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
- Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
- Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
- Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
- Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
- Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
- Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
- Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
- Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
- Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
