It’s official: Messi, Busquets, Alba and Suarez are together again, this time in Major League Soccer. Pre-season training for Inter Miami officially opened on Saturday, with Suarez being seen in his new colors for the first time after signing a one-year deal last month to join the trio of his former teammates who arrived last summer.

“To come help a team that has well-known players that everyone knows and [adjust] to the other players and what is a new club and do what the club wants—which is to attempt to win an MLS Cup and do it with professionalism—is what is wanted of me,” Suarez said.
Suarez and Messi spent six seasons together at Barcelona, winning four Spanish League titles and nine other trophies —including a Champions League title. Suarez, 37, is coming off a year where he was best player and best striker in the Brazilian league with Gremio. Coming to MLS, he made it very clear that he’s with Inter Miami to win.
The team will try to defend its Leagues Cup trophy, plus have an MLS title to chase, along with the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the US Open Cup. “The best advice to give to players is to dream big. To dream that we want to win. Why not dream to win the four titles? It depends on us. We can speak about it, but we have to demonstrate it on the pitch with work, commitment, sacrifice,” said Suarez.
