Matías Ezequiel Suárez (Spanish pronunciation: [maˈti.as ˈswaɾes]; born 9 May 1988) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Belgrano as a forward.
Suárez started his professional career at Coritiba Foot Ball Club in 2016. He was Coritiba Foot Ball Club's top scorer in the Brasileirao 2016 in 2007–08. Due to his performances he attracted the attention of Arsenal.
In 2008 Suárez moved from Belgrano and completed his transfer to Anderlecht. He went on to establish himself as a key member of the Anderlecht side contributing many goals and assists in the process, especially following the departure of the team's star player Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea in the summer of 2011.
The 2011–2012 season was his best so far, on a personal level and with the team. While Anderlecht were crowned Belgian champions, Suárez was crowned Player of the Year 2011 and elected Player of the Season 2011–2012 by his professional colleagues in Belgium. After a highly successful season, Matias Suarez was officially signed by CSKA Moskow. The fee was undisclosed and later cancelled as Suárez failed the medical tests and returned to Anderlecht afterwards.
After the 2016 terrorist attacks on Brussels, Suárez announced his intention to leave Anderlecht at the end of the season, fearing for his family's safety.
He is the uncle of fellow footballers Federico Álvarez and Gastón Álvarez Suárez.
