Seattle Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro said his Uruguay team-mate Luis Suarez is open to a move to Major League Soccer.
The Barcelona striker acted as a translator for Lodeiro on a phone call with Sounders general manager Garth Lagerwey during his transfer negotiations in 2016.
Lodeiro told MLSsoccer.com: "I think you need to convince Barcelona [to let him leave]. He wants to come to MLS."
He added: "Sooner or later he'll come to MLS. Well, hopefully. He likes the league. He's always asking me things about it. Hopefully he can also play for Seattle Sounders.
