Luis Suarez has been on everyone’s lips for months, and it is that the famous former Barça and Atlético de Madrid striker, with whom his contract ended at the end of this season, is available as a free agent, which was an open secret for weeks before the end of last season. The Uruguayan striker manages several possibilities both in Europe and in Latin America, being the River Plate the one that generated the most attractiveness to the star of Uruguay.
However, one of the biggest attractions of the Argentine club was its participation in the Libertadores Cup, and it is that the Uruguayan striker was especially excited to win the South American competition before retiring. However, Marcelo Gallardo’s team has been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores after falling to Vélez in the round of 16. Although his fall in this competition has not been without controversy, the truth is that the Monumental complex is out of the top South American competition.
Suárez: “As River was left out, that possibility falls away”
This has caused the possibility of signing Luis Suárez to slip through his fingers. “I 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. As River was left out, that possibility falls.” These were the declarations of the charrúa during the interview granted to ‘Ovation’.
