The striker for Inter Miami, Luis Suarez, has stated that he was on the verge of joining Real Madrid to take Karim Benzema’s place.
Suarez allegedly ruined Benzema’s transfer to Arsenal by opting to join Barcelona instead, according to an interview with DelSol.

He claims that Madrid lost interest after Giorgio Chiellini was bitten during the 2014 World Cup.
“Real Madrid wanted me before the 2014 World Cup because they wanted to trade Benzema to Arsenal.”
During the time, Luis Enrique was pressuring Barcelona, who was also interested.

“Despite the punishment in the bite case, Barcelona persisted in wanting to sign me. For that, I will always be appreciative,” Suarez remarked.
