The 35-year-old will “say goodbye to the sporting family today,” the club announced on social networks.

His contract expires on June 30th, the future of the offensive power is open. According to reports, Suárez had already rejected offers from the Brazilian clubs Palmeiras, Corinthians and Atlético Mineiro as well as offers from Saudi Arabia in the winter.
