In late March 2007, the Bolivian media claimed that Diego was about to be given a trial by famous English football club, Chelsea. These rumors were quashed that any contact was made by Chelsea giving him a trial.[1] The young Bolivian did make his way to Europe and in late November was signed by Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv.[2][3]

During January 2009, Suárez played in the South American Youth Championship for the Bolivian U-20 team, later in the year, he joined the Bolivian U-17 squad in Chile for the FIFA U-17 World Cup qualifiers.
