He made his La Liga debut on 17 December 2016 as a 88th minute substitute for Alexandre Pato in a 3–1 victory over Sporting de Gijón.[5]

A regular name in Argentina's youth squads, Suárez was called up by under-20s for the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship, held in Uruguay.[6] He made his debut in the competition on 18 January, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ángel Correa in a 6–2 routing over Peru; he also scored the fifth and assisted Giovanni Simeone in the sixth.[7]
Four days later, Suárez started in a 3–0 win against Bolivia, and provided the assist in all of the three goals.[8] He finished the tournament with three appearances and four assists, as his side were crowned champions.
