The centre-forward also played a key role in helping the side clinch the Supporters' Shield alongside Lionel Messi, which ultimately secured the club a place at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Having initially signed a one-year deal at the start of this year, Inter Miami have now decided to extend Suarez's contract through to the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season.

"I'm very happy, very excited to continue for another year and to be able to enjoy being here with this fanbase, which for us is like family," said Suárez on Inter Miami's official website.
"We feel very, very connected with them, and hopefully, next year, we can bring them even more joy."
The club's president of football operations, Raúl Sanllehí, said: "In 2024, Luis brought to Inter Miami all of the elements that make him one of the greatest strikers of all time.
"He performed at an elite level for us, and we're excited to see that continue next season.
"Luis was not only our leading scorer this season, but also a leader for the group. His impact cannot be understated."
Elsewhere, Suarez announced his retirement from international football in September after his last major tournament, the 2024 Copa America.
The former FC Barcelona and Liverpool star retired as Uruguay's all-time top scorer with 69 goals, while his 143 appearances for his country make him the second most-capped player for his nation behind Diego Godín.
