Luis Suarez

"El Pistolero" has found a club to play for after departing Atletico Madrid with the expiration of his contract, set to return to his boyhood club Nacional.

ESPN broadcaster Taylor Twellman, who has broken MLS news in the past, stoked the fire with a tweet on the morning of July 26 that linked the two. "That made our hearts really touch in this situation that we had to decide and I think it was inevitable to reject this opportunity to have the possibility of playing for Nacional again." Here's a full rundown of all the reported possibilities for "El Pistolero" while he looked to find a new club home. "First of all, I wanted to thank you for the love that both I and my family have received in recent days, which has been impressive, very exciting, all the videos, the messages that have reached us," Suarez said in the announcement. Suarez's boyhood club Nacional was always thought to be a possible destination for the 35-year-old should he decide to move back to his home country. With the expiration of his Atletico Madrid contract this summer, Suarez was again looking for a new home, but that has been now been decided.
