The Uruguayan superstar was at his boyhood club Nacional but he has agreed to move to Gremio on a free transfer.
The striker is currently staying at Messi’s home in Rosario to celebrate Argentina’s World Cup triumph.
Suarez is happy for his close friend, despite suffering his own heartbreak at the competition in Qatar as Uruguay were knocked out at the group stage.
During their holiday, they are believed to have discussed Suarez’s future and terms put forward by Gremio, according to reports.
Gremio football deputy Paulo Caleffi has told TV Bandeirantes: “Suarez said that ‘his friend’ recommended coming to Gremio, which was the best way”.
