## Club career

After playing in the Colo-Colo youth teams since he was young, Suazo made his first-team debut for the club on 19 July 2015 in a Copa Chile match against Deportes Concepción.
After nine seasons with Colo-Colo, Suazo signed for French Ligue 1 club Toulouse on 16 January 2023. He became the second Chilean footballer to play for them after Jorge Infante in the 1970s. He helped his side win the Coupe de France in his first season, assisting a goal in Toulouse's 5–1 win over Nantes in the final.

In June 2024, Suazo was named in Chile's squad for the 2024 Copa América. In their final group match against Canada, he was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards within the first 30 minutes as Chile exited the tournament in the group stage.
