The Honduran had seemed certain to join Roma earlier this week, and indeed it was even reported by some sections of the press that the striker would sign for them on Wednesday.
However, the Giallorossi opted for Monaco’s Jeremy Menez instead, and now Benfica have announced that Suazo has officially signed for them.
The 28-year-old arrives on loan, but it is not yet clear whether or not there is an option to make this move permanent next summer.
"I am very pleased to have joined Benfica,” said Suazo.
“I was by convinced Rui Costa, and I know that a really interesting project is in place.”
The Honduran only joined Inter from Cagliari last summer for €10m, but he failed to live up to expectations. The writing has been on the wall for his Inter career for a few months now, and there had been no space for him up-front due to the presence of Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Cruz, Crespo, Balotelli and Mancini.
Suazo was not even named in the squad for the Italian Supercup with Roma on Sunday, which all but signalled the end of his time at Inter.
