Luis Suárez

Luis Suárez of Sporting CP was born in Santa Marta, Colombia on 2 December 1997 (age 28).

Luis Suárez, born on 2 December 1997 (age 28), is a Colombian striker with Sporting CP, where he wears the number 97 shirt. His profile is straightforward enough: a centre-forward whose best return came in 2025-2026, when he scored 28 league goals in 32 appearances.

He has remained part of Sporting’s first-team picture in 2026-2027. His domestic involvement has been limited to two Liga Portugal appearances, but his European contribution has been more substantial, with 12 Champions League appearances and five goals. Across all competitions for Sporting this season, he has made 14 appearances and scored five times.

Suárez has also stayed involved with Colombia, making five World Cup appearances this season and one South American World Cup qualifying appearance, in which he scored four goals. His career at this stage is that of an established striker still getting meaningful minutes for club and country, with his most recent scoring impact coming away from league duty.
