• Luis Suarez’s lucrative football career could be coming to an unfortunate end
• The Uruguayan is reportedly considering calling it quits due to his knee injury
• The former Liverpool star currently plays for Grêmio in the Brazilian top flight

Former Liverpool and Barcelona striker, Luis Suarez, is considering calling it quits on a glittery football career, according to stunning new reports.

Suarez, who currently plays for Grêmio in Brazil, is reportedly pondering his future in football due to 'constant pain' in his knee.

The 36-year-old, considered one of the greatest strikers of this generation, has made 25 appearances for Gremio this season.

However, according to Marca, he has informed the club he will be hanging his boots because of the stubborn knee injury. This new development all but quashes any possibility of Suarez reuniting with his long-time friend and former teammate, Lionel Messi.

Messi recently agreed to join Major League Soccer outfit, Inter Miami, and it was rumoured the Uruguayan could follow the Argentine to the States.

Suarez’s career timeline

Regardless of his decision, there is no denying Suarez has had a career many football players would love to have.

He rose up with FC Nacional in his home country before moving to the Netherlands at the tender age of 19, joining Dutch outfit, Groningen, as per Transfermarkt.

At the Dutch side, he netted 15 goals and seven assists in 37 games, attracting the interest of FC Ajax, who wasted no time taking up his services.

It was at Ajax that Suarez really made a name for himself, bagging 111 goals and 68 assists in three seasons, before eventually joining Liverpool in January 2011.

His 11-year stint in Europe also saw him play for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but it was at Barca where he will be perhaps most fondly remembered, as a member of one of the most formidable attacks in history along with Messi and Neymar Junior.
