David Beckham's Inter Miami have reportedly stepped up their ambitious bid to sign Luis Suarez.

The MLS side have released former Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi to free up a slot for another high-profile signing, according to The Sun.

Inter Miami are allowed three Designated Players on top of their modest wage bill.

Suarez is out of contract at Atletico Madrid at the end of this season, and a renewal is unlikely according to Corriere dello Sport via Diario AS. 

According to the report, the Uruguayan is considering a move to the MLS to finish his career.

Speaking to ESPN, via Spanish outlet AS, he said: 'If I return to any team from South America at 36 or 37 years of age, people will expect me to play like I did in my late twenties,' he explained.

'So if I can't play at the highest level, I rather avoid unnecessary criticism if I don't run enough or can't score the same amount of goals as I did in Europe.

'So I want to play somewhere I am happy and comfortable. Also I want to play in a league where I can still perform and keep enjoying playing soccer.

'So I don't think I will return to South America, but the United States or Asia are very good options when I turn 37.'
