MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — Luis Suárez has confirmed that he has signed with Nacional in Montevideo, the club where Uruguay's historic goal-scorer made his professional soccer debut 17 years ago. A day after announcing that both sides had reached a pre-agreement, the 35-year-old striker posted a message on Twitter the deal was now official. The sides didn't disclose the financial details or length of the contract.
