Manchester United want to sign Almeria striker Luis Suarez in the summer
In every corner of Manchester, there is a certain anxiety about the upcoming season. United fans are still waiting for the team to regain the quality that made Old Trafford great. Many are still thinking about the goal drought that cost them key games. The arrival of Ruben Amorim opened the door to hope, but without a reliable number nine any project is half-baked. Names are flying around in the press, as every summer brings new rumours. The club have been linked with a number of strikers like Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen, but have failed to win the race for them. However, the need is clear. United cannot afford to miss out on another summer of attacking signings.
According to Fichajes, Almeria striker Luis Suarez is on the shortlist. The Colombian scored 27 goals in the Spanish second division, a figure that puts him on the radar of several teams. At 27 years of age, he is still hungry, sparkling and excited about a move to the Premier League. His price tag is around €25 million as per the report, a figure that United could take on without too much headache. Suarez dreams of a big stage, and Old Trafford tempts him. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will follow up their interest with a firm offer that will convince Almeria and close the deal.
We still think that United have a lot at stake if they bid for Suárez. The club can’t afford another flop like those of Rasmus Højlund or Joshua Zirkzee, who ended up showing little firepower. Ruben Amorim demands mobility, high pressing and sacrifice without the ball. Luis Suárez has instinct, knows how to get into the box and is strong, but the question is how well he adapts.

He has never played in a league as physical as the English one. Suarez’s experience in less demanding leagues leaves questions. In his favour, he has the motivation and the profile of a striker who fights for every ball. The price, 25 million, seems fair, but to go beyond that would be a mistake. We are not talking about an established European striker. The club must measure the risk well and not throw the house out of the window.

The squad need immediate goals, not promises that will fizzle out in January. Our opinion is that signing Suárez could be a brave gamble if he arrives to compete from the first minute, but without selling smoke and mirrors. If the Colombian fits in with Amorim’s idea and adds up quickly, good for him. If not, better to look for another profile with more experience in the elite and fewer doubts about his real impact.
