Barcelona ace Luis Suarez rejects MLS offer

Barcelona ace Luis Suarez has rejected a massive offer from the MLS.

ESPN says Suarez, 33, has been told he can leave Camp Nou and Inter Miami, the club founded by David Beckham, were prepared to pay him €8m net annually over a four year deal.

That would not only have made Suarez the MLS' biggest earner this season but the league's biggest earner ever, taking over Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, Suarez said no to Miami and they instead announced the signing of former Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain this week.

Despite the offer from the U.S, Suarez would prefer to remain in Europe for now. He recently traveled to Perugia for an Italian language test as he seeks citizenship in the country to increase his chances of finding a new club there.
