Luis Suárez spillede i Nacional fra 2005 til 2006, inden han startede en stor karriere i Europa. Og han er aldrig blevet glemt. Klubbens fans vil nu have ham tilbage og har taget alternative medtoder i brug.
Det var budskabet, da tusindevis af klubbens fans bar Suarez-masker ved en kamp torsdag aften i hjemlandet Uruguay.
Den 35-årige Luis Suárez kan skifte frit nu, efter at han forlod Atletico Madrid ved kontraktudløb i sommer.
Luis Suárez debuterede for Nacional som kun 18-årig og vandt mesterskabet, inden han skiftede til Groningen i Æresdivisionen i Holland.
Der er flere rygter om Luis Suárez, der angiveligt skulle være blevet tilbudt til tyske Borussia Dortmund, men der er også forlydener i hans hjemland om, at Suarez vil vende tilbage til, hvor det hele begyndte.
