Luis Suarez joins Barcelona from Liverpool
Barcelona
have confirmed that Uruguayan player Luis Suarez has left Liverpool
to join Barcelona on a 5-year contract, the transfer fee is
reportedly £75m.
Barcelona
who already have Lionel Messi and Neymar will boost their strike
force even more with this new addition.
FIFA
recently rejected appeals from the Uruguayan FA and from Suarez over
last month's ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini during their World
Cup match against Italy. His new deal if completed will become the
third most expensive deal in football history following Real Madrid's
signing of Gareth Bale, the deal cost a whopping €100
million and off Course Cristiano Ronaldo €94
million deal.
A
statement on Liverpoolfc.com read: “ Liverpool FC confirms that
Luis Suarez will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was
reached with FC Barcelona. The player now has permission to complete
the usual formalities, which will then conclude the transfer.
“
We
would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played
in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield.
“Everyone
at Liverpool Football Club wished Luis and his family well for the
future.”
Suarez
will be traveling to Barca next week for a medical after which the
contracts will be concluded.
The
27-year-old who has received several fines and disciplinary action
over his unsportsmanlike behavior, was the Premier League
top scorer last season, he scored 31 goals for Liverpool. Suarez however
will not be able to play for his new side until the end of October;
he was expelled from the World Cup in Brazil last month and was
handed a 9-match competitive international ban as well as a 4-month
suspension from any football-related activities over the very
shameful biting incident.
