Colombian, striker and plays in Spain: who is the other Luis Suárez playing in River

The River world has been meeting for several days (leaders, technical staff and fans, attention) for several days with a central objective. The group led by Gallardo tries to insert a striker due to the imminent departure of Julián Alvarez for Europe and to solve the deficit that has been seen in that position when “the boy prodigy” is not in play. And in the last few days, two names have appeared. One, who made a lot of noise: that of the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, a reinforcement at the top who would have broken through the market and who would have forced River to fight in the salient moments of the Copa Libertadores. The other, who was handled low is Luis Suarez. Although, in this case, we are not talking about the former Liverpool, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid.

It is clear that The Gunslinger doesn’t need much introduction. It is that, in addition to a terrible career that included a period in three of the most followed clubs in Europe, the Uruguayan was one of the members of the historic MSN together with Messi and Neymar who with Barsa won the League, Cup and Champions triple in the 2008-2009 season in which they added 122 goals between the three.

So it sounds weird the question is who Luis Suárez is. Although this is called Luis Javier, he is a forward, he is 24 years old and was born in Santa Marta, Colombia. Where is your GPS taking us? Today the player wanted by Gallardo plays for Granada in Spain. El Bisonte, as they call “the other Suárez” was offered to Nuñez’s group in the last few hours and apparently would have appreciated his name.

The trajectory of the Colombian

He made his debut at the age of 17 for Itagüí Leones, a team from his hometown. Quickly, he was transferred to Granada “B” for the 2016/2017 season, where he scored 5 goals in 35 games. For the 2017/2018 season he was signed by Watford in England – where he didn’t play a single game – but was immediately loaned to Real Valladolid “B”. Thus began a phase of numerous loans in his career. For the 2018/2019 season he was loaned to Nastic de Tarragona, and for 2019/2020 he played for Real Zaragoza, where he exploded and scored 19 goals in 38 games.

His great performance caught the attention of Granada, who shelled out 15 million euros for your pass This figure was a record for the Spanish team. Since joining his last team, he has scored 13 goals in 64 games and has been called up to play for the national team. Throughout his career he has scored 56 goals in 215 games.

Why could he reach River?

Although it is true that the Colombian has a contract until 2025, and has an exit clause of 10 million euros, Granada was relegated to the second division of Spanish football last season. This factor could be fundamental for the arrival in the Nuñez group, since there could be some facilitations from the economic point of view. The decision will depend on what Gallardo.
