All or nothing. It is decision time. The president of Nacional de Uruguay, José Fuentes, is on a trip to Spain to talk personally with Luis Suárez and try to close the striker’s arrival at his birth club, where he debuted in the first division 17 years ago.

The hashtag SUAREZANACIONAL is all the rage and a worldwide trend. The official account of the National Football Club detailed that “more than 50 million accounts in 35 countries and with an average of 1,500 tweets per hour” joined the formidable campaign that the fans of the Uruguayan tricolor mounted to “pamper” Luis Suárez and ask for his return to the club.
That is why the president of the club took a plane this Tuesday at noon from South America. It’s the moment.
Luis Suárez himself started the story
This story was started by Suárez himself, a couple of weeks ago, complaining that he was not being “pampered” by his home club, as the Argentine River fans had done. And he also clarified that there was no question of money involved.
It is clear that any offer that the Uruguayan club can make to Luis Suárez is absolutely below others that it has received from other clubs in the world. To graph it: the total budget of Nacional, its entire coaching staff and its entire superior squad, is lower than what Suárez perceived at Atlético de Madrid.
The expectations
This fury was generated by Suárez with his statements and now he is stuck in the situation. The level of expectation that he has generated in Uruguay is such that if he says NO to the club where he was born, he played in lower categories when he was a kid, and appeared in the first division, the disappointment in Uruguay will be colossal.
There are no middle terms anymore. 20 days ago nobody in Uruguay thought that Suárez could play in these three months before the World Cup in his National. But a few words from the striker, at the beginning of July, were enough to open a door that is now impossible to close. And besides, unless Suárez accepts an offer from a very important team in Europe, he will leave footprints for the future.
And now he’s in a maze
If the player’s option is a small-time club in the Old Continent, leaving aside the “pampering” that he has received in an oversized form from his country, it will be difficult for the fans of Nacional to forget him.
Suárez got into a complex labyrinth. He has known how to get out of other complicated situations at other times in his life. Now, he again has to look for the light at the end of the road.
For now, the president of Nacional will land in hours on Spanish soil. He will be face to face with Suárez. They will talk, they will exchange feelings, and… There will be a decision. For Yes or No. What is clear IS that the fans of Nacional will not remain indifferent to the definition. Neither today nor in the future.
