Most people agree that Suárez is among the best attackers of his generation. The Uruguayan began his professional career with Montevideo’s Club Nacional de Football about two decades ago. He was Messi’s teammate at FC Barcelona from 2014 to 2020. According to reports that were made public, he signed a contract with Inter Miami of Major League Soccer in late December, thus he is now back together.

This purchase came after months of circulating rumours about the soccer player’s intended family home. Unexpectedly, Messi, Suárez, and other Inter Miami players have concentrated their purchases in Bay Colony and Sea Ranch Lakes, two less well-known gated neighbourhoods.
