At the end of last season, Suarez left Atletico Madrid and received several offers from major leagues. It was thought that the Uruguayan striker would switch to Los Angeles FC, but after communicating with his family, he decided to return to his parent team, the Uruguayan Nation, after a gap of 16 years.
According to the Sun, Messi lent his private jet to Suarez, who flew back to Montevideo with his family to join the Uruguayan nation.
Messi lent his £12m private jet to former Barca teammate Suarez.
Suarez and his family flew back home last Sunday.
The jet bears Messi's No. 10 on the stern, his name on the gangway, and the names of his wife Antonella and children Thiago, Ciro, and Mateo. The plane, built by an Argentine company and designed for Messi and his family, has a galley in the cabin, two bathrooms, seats for 16 people, and seats that can be folded up to turn into eight beds.
Suarez returned to Uruguay on the plane with his wife Sofia Barbi and three children Delfina, Benjamin and Lautaro, and Sophia Barbi posted incredible footage on social media, with excited fans lining up on the road from the airport to the stadium to welcome Suarez and huddled around the car to greet their idol.
Messi also appeared in the video produced by the Uruguayan National Club to welcome Suarez, saying: "I want to give you a big hug and wish you all the best in the new stage of your career." I know how important the Uruguayan nation is in your heart. You're back in your home country and hometown after such a long absence to prepare for the upcoming World Cup. Now I will also be following the Uruguayan National team. ”
"You know I love you so much and would do anything for you. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon. ”
