Born in General San Martín Partido, Suárez joined Boca Juniors’ youth setup in 2002, aged six, after starting it out at lowly Villa Esperanza. He made his first team debut on 9 November 2014, coming on as a second half substitute for Federico Carrizo in a 2–0 home win against Club Atlético Tigre for the Primera División championship.

On 10 December 2014 Suárez moved to Villarreal CF, after agreeing to a 5 1⁄₂-year deal for a €2million fee. He was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.

International career

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. 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.

Four days later, Suárez started in a 3–0 win against Bolivia, and provided the assist in all of the three goals. He finished the tournament with three appearances and four assists, as his side were crowned champions.
