Football legend Luis Suarez has made a massive retirement admission not long after linking up with Lionel Messi at his new club.

At the beginning of the year, the duo joined forces once again when Suarez decided to become the latest former Barcelona player to sign for Inter Miami.
The Herons failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs last season, but are hoping the addition of Uruguay's all-time leading goalscorer, who had just come off the back of a 17-goal season with Brazilian side Gremio, can help catapult them to MLS Cup contention once the next campaign starts.
Inter Miami will have to hope they can win silverware as soon as possible, however, as the two-time European Golden Shoe winner has confirmed that they will be his last club in football.
"Inter Miami is the last club of my career," the 37-year-old told Del Sol FM. "I can't be more honest. The family already knows it.
"I don't know the date yet, but it's the last step. I am also ready for my last challenge.
"I must think about having quality of life afterwards. I talk about this and I feel like crying because that's who I am, but you have to prepare yourself. I remember that a former player told me that the player is never prepared for retirement."
Suarez is understood to have signed a one-year deal, with the option of an additional year, with the MLS side, so football fans can potentially expect to see the former Liverpool and Barcelona marksman in action until he is 39.
