Uruguayan star Luis Suarez, forward for Inter Miami in the United States, revealed his stance on retiring from football and discussed his teammate Lionel Messi's desire to compete in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States.

In his statements, Suarez said: "No, I haven't talked to Messi about retirement seriously; we sometimes discuss it in a joking tone, but he also wants to play in the World Cup next year."

He added: "It's clear that I've distanced myself from the national team for a longer period, so I've missed out on more opportunities to participate than Messi, but we haven't delved into this discussion in detail."

He continued: "Yes, we can talk about that future when we grow older and feel that the time has come, but for now, we haven't set anything. "

Regarding Messi's stance on the World Cup, Suarez said: "I don't ask him about his decision to participate; there are people who don't understand Leo's way of thinking, but I know him well, and when the time comes, he will decide for himself when to retire."

As for his future in football, the Inter Miami forward clarified: "I haven't set a retirement date yet; as long as I have the passion and desire to continue, I will keep playing. There is no final date for retirement yet."

Regarding extending his contract with Inter Miami, he said: "The club is open to renewal, and everything will depend on my physical condition and how much I contribute to the team until the end of the season."

Suarez also spoke about his compatriot Darwin Nunez, the Liverpool forward, confirming: "The decision is in his hands, but he is performing excellently with Liverpool, and the English Premier League is the best in the world, and what he is doing there is very important for the Uruguayan national team."

It is scheduled that the Egyptian Al Ahly team will face the American Inter Miami team in the opening of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on June 15 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA.
