During the 2025 season, the former Barcelona, Liverpool, Atlético de Madrid, and Ajax striker played 50 matches in all competitions, in which he recorded:
- 17 goals
- 17 assists
His performance was key to the team reaching the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup in its expanded format.
A different role in the MLS playoffs
In the final phase of the season, Suárez accepted a secondary role, playing less in the last four MLS playoff matches. He didn’t even get any minutes in the MLS Cup final, where Inter Miami beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3–1.
During that period, he was displaced by Mateo Silvetti, a 19-year-old Argentine forward, reflecting the squad’s renewal process.
