Suarez to Inter Miami is ON! Gremio coach confirms striker is set to join Messi

Gremio manager Renato Gaucho has confirmed that Sunday will be the final game the club will have with Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez has been set to depart the club for months and now is set up for a potential move to MLS to re-join his friend Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.

The striker has had 26 goals in 51 appearances - a kind of output Gaucho wishes was staying at the club.

'Are we going to miss him? Certainly, without a doubt, he is very loved by everyone,' Gaucho said ahead of Suarez's final match.

'I had the pleasure of working with a great professional, one of the best in the world, fourth highest scorer in the world. This void will remain for the next year, because it's not easy to find someone of his talent and ability.

'When you find someone else, it's unfeasible to bring him in financially. Unfortunately, as I said before, it was very difficult for him to stay. Everyone wanted it, but only he could reverse this decision.

'Unfortunately, he will leave and there will be this vacuum in Gremio's attack. Then it's up to the board and president to try and find another striker.

'It was a great pleasure, not only for me but for the whole club. A guy who always gave himself, an exemplary professional.'

Even at age 36, Suarez took to the club with great energy and willingness to win with the side from Porto Allegre.
