Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez confirmed on Tuesday night a pre-agreement to return to play for Nacional, the club where he made his professional debut 17 seasons ago.
In a concise video shared on his social networks, Suárez has indicated that there are still "details", but that both parties want the signing to come to fruition.
The Uruguayan has appreciated the signs of affection received in recent days, in which the rumors about his future have included several teams.
It was in the last week when Nacional began to sound strongly.
Even more so after all the fans of the Montevideo club received the team last Friday with thousands of banners with the face of Suárez.

“It has been very exciting.
It has touched my heart a lot and, in this situation in which I had to decide, it has been impossible to miss this opportunity," the attacker said in the statement.
In this way, Suárez abandons European football, which he arrived at from the Dutch Groningen before joining Ajax, Liverpool and Barcelona.
His last stage in Spain was at Atlético de Madrid, with whom he ended his contract on June 30.
Recognized as one of the best strikers in modern football, Suárez has scored 452 goals in 730 professional games.
