Cost Sporting millions, but really wanted to be in the Premier League | OneFootball

Luis Suárez wants to head to the Premier League. This information was revealed by the former representative of the Sporting player, who was signed by the Lions in the summer transfer window, in one of the biggest investments in the history of the Alvalade Club. Juanlu Gómez gave a recent interview, where he discussed the topic of the player who has already become an asset for Rui Borges.

"Luis has always received offers, even when he suffered the injury [to his fibula, in October 2023] that kept him off the pitch for seven months and required surgery," began 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 important offers to leave, but at that time Almería decided it was not the right moment...".

"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 during the summer transfer window, despite ending up moving to Alvalade.

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