Cost Sporting millions, but he really wanted the Premier League | OneFootball

Luis Suárez wants to head to the Premier League. This information is provided by the former representative of the Sporting player, who the lions signed in the summer market, in one of the biggest investments in the history of the Alvalade Club. Juanlu Gómez gave a recent interview, where he discusses the topic about the player who has already become an asset for Rui Borges.

"Luis always received offers, even when he suffered the injury [to the fibula, in October 2023] that kept him off the field for seven months, requiring surgery", began to explain Junalu Gómez, who was replaced by Fali Ramadani as Suárez's agent.

He then revealed that Luis Suárez had already been close to leaving Almería in the summer of 2024: "At the end of that season [2023/24], he received significant offers to leave, but at that moment Almería decided it was not the right time...".

"His desire has always been to play in the Premier League. And I understand that things didn't work out for that to be possible this year", concluded Junalu Gómez, thus revealing that Luis Suárez did not have a preference for Sporting in the summer transfer window, despite having ended up heading to Alvalade.

This season, with the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 13 matches. The Sporting player participated in all official matches at the start of the season: eight for Liga Portugal, three for the Champions League, one for the Portuguese Cup, and another for the Super Cup. In the 922 minutes he has been on the field, the forward scored seven goals and provided two assists.
