MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - Luis Suarez has signed a short-term contract to rejoin his boyhood club Nacional in Uruguay ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, the club's president said on Wednesday.
Fuentes said Suarez should arrive in Uruguay this weekend and could make his debut as early as Tuesday in the Copa Sudamericana - South America's equivalent to the Europa League - against Brazilians Atletico Goianiense. Three clubs in Turkey and one in Italy were reported to be after the high profile forward, while there were also said to be offers from Major League Soccer and River Plate in Argentina.
On Tuesday, he thanked fans for "the great affection shown to me and my family these last few days," and said it had made it impossible "to reject the possibility of returning to play for Nacional."
