Antes do confronto contra o Flamengo, o técnico Renato Portaluppi havia anunciado que a permanência de Luis Suárez no Grêmio somente até o final da temporada, isso ocorreu porque um acordo foi feito entre o jogador uruguaio e a direção do tricolor. Ambos concordaram em antecipar o final do contrato do jogador para dezembro de 2023, um ano antes do acordo accertado no início das tratativas.
Novela Mexicana
Então, é definitivo que Suárez irá sair do Grêmio no fim do ano e que vai estar livre para se transferir ao Inter Miami. Sem quebra de contrato ou que o clube gaúcho receba qualquer valor.
Nos últimos dias de 2022, Luisito, como é conhecido, assinou contrato com o Grêmio e chegou em Porto Alegre na primeira semana de janeiro com contrato até dezembro de 2024.

O tempo de contrato de dois anos foi algo que o próprio staff do jogador exigiu e a direção do Grêmio atendeu, inicialmente o pensamento da direção era ter o uruguaio por uma temporada.
Antecipar o final do contrato foi a forma encontrada para chegar a um acordo final no caso do jogador, sobre a incerteza do futuro de Suárez no Grêmio, Renato ainda chamou o ocorrido de “novela mexicana” devido às reviravoltas e mudanças no contrato, ele garantiu que o centroavante fica pelo menos até o final da temporada.
“Jogador muito importante, faz a diferença. Falo da tal novela mexicana, mas acabou. Dá tranquilidade tanto para ele quanto para o clube. Ele fica até dezembro, nos dá essa tranquilidade, tem nos ajudado bastante”, disse Renato antes do confronto contra o Flamengo.
Nas últimas semanas, o uruguaio foi contatado pelo Inter Miami, da MLS, onde iria encontrar Messi e outros companheiros do tempo de Barcelona, por essa razão sinalizou que queria sair do time gaúcho. Porém, o Grêmio não aceitou liberar a principal contratação e estrela do time sem receber o ressarcimento, nesse período ocorreu certo desgaste na relação de ambas as partes.
