“El Pistolero” has no more bullets in its barrel. According to the Brazilian press, Luis Suarez (36), who arrived at Grêmio Porto Alegre in January, could soon announce the end of his career, due to pain in his right knee.
The club president was really not reassuring on Wednesday about his Uruguayan striker, during a media event organized in the Arena do Grêmio. “The problem is serious,” conceded Alberto Guerra. “He had a lot of injections, took a lot of medication. He reaches the limit. Now, where that boundary actually lies, we don’t know. The leader even mentioned the possibility that Suarez would have “a prosthesis” put in his knee several times.
14 goals in 26 games since January
Suarez had rebounded well at Grêmio after a complicated World Cup in Qatar with Uruguay, which came out in the first round. Author of 14 goals in 26 games, the former player of Ajax, Liverpool, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid is under contract until December 2024.
But the best director in the history of Celeste (68 goals in 137 selections) has already indicated to the board of directors of the Brazilian club that he would soon announce his retirement.
