PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil (AP) — Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is joining Gremio, the Brazilian club said Saturday.
The 35-year-old Suarez was a free agent after he left his boyhood club Nacional before the World Cup in Qatar. Brazilian media reports said Suarez signed a two-year deal with Gremio.
“One of the biggest in Uruguay’s history, Luis Suarez is coming to continue his victorious trajectory,” Gremio said on social media. “A top goal scorer, a multiple champion, and a fighter. Welcome, Luisito.”

Gremio returned to Brazil’s Serie A after one year in the second division.
