Suarez: USA is a nice possibility, for football & for children's well-being

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez leaves the door open to play in MLS by saying "it's an attractive competition".

In an interview given to ESPN, Luis Suarez left open the option of playing in Major League Soccer of the United States: "MLS is a competition which has grown a lot in the last few years and you can see that with the young players that have moved there in the last two years, above all the South Americans."

"That shows that the league wants to grow and not just bring in players of a certain age that are going to retire there. They look for that mix to make the league better."

Uruguay's Nicolas Lodeiro, who plays for MLS Cup winners Seattle Sounders, claimed recently that Suarez told him he wants to move to MLS when his time in Spain is up.

"I didn't commit to anything [with Lodeiro]," Suarez said. "I had a conversation with him. MLS is a league that any player would be interested in and I asked him about the competition and about his teammates.

"I have a contract with Barca and I am very happy here. In the future you never know, it's an attractive league.

"Given that I have been lucky to have had success at the top level for a long time, what I would look out for [next] is stability for my family and the well-being of my children. They would all make the decision along with me and the United States is a nice possibility."
