"I used to dream of playing for Barcelona and I still do", confessed Suárez back then, when he was just 21 years old and was making his first inroads into European football after a season at Dutch club Groningen.
The video was circulated on Wednesday by the journalist Marcos Vitette, a personal friend of Suárez, after he got in touch with the player in Spain.
The striker is currently preparing for his Barcelona debut in isolation, after being handed down a harsh punishment by FIFA for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the Brazil World Cup.
Vitette recalled that the 2008 report was filmed at Montevideo's Centenario Stadium and that Suárez "was very nice".
"When he watched the clip back, he said that he sounded a little haughty and that his hair looked awful", the Uruguayan journalist said of his recent conversation with Suárez.
As for the present-day player, the journalist said that Suárez "was happy" for the six-year-old video to be released because "it says nice things" about a young man who "has been through some bad times", but who is now enjoying the present and "wants to move forward".
