The Uruguayan does not give in when he wants to collect the tab for this season and his departure to Juventus is still on the air
Luis Suárez appeared yesterday at the FC Barcelona afternoon training session at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí, where he was cited like the rest of his teammates, without having made progress in solving his future with Juventus de Turin as the best positioned team to win its services. The Uruguayan striker does not count for Ronald Koeman , as was even clearer last Saturday when he discarded him from the first preseason friendly played against Nàstic de Tarragona along with Arturo Vidal , Rafinha Alcantara , Matheus Fernandes and Moussa Wague , the other transferable with a card from the Barcelona first team.
While Edin Dzeko (Roma) remains the alternative with the most name for Juve , Suárez , who will turn 34 on January 24, is still castled and is not willing to give up as he wants to collect the remaining year of his contract with him. FC Barcelona unlike Vidal , who has finally taken a step back and has made things easier to smooth his departure from the Camp Nou . The Uruguayan remains calm with three weeks still to close the market. It is Barçawho is more in a hurry to accelerate his departure in order to save his considerable salary for this season, which amounts to around 30 million euros gross. As in the case of Vidal , Barça does not count on entering an important figure since it prioritizes above all to lighten its salary mass with players like the Chilean, Samuel Umtiti and Ivan Rakitic , already transferred to Seville two weeks ago.
Not like Samuel Eto'o
In the coming days, more conversations are planned between his lawyer and FC Barcelona to try to find a consensual and friendly solution at the same time, being the third top scorer in the club's history with 198 goals in six seasons. Suárez , signed from Liverpool in 2014 for 81 million euros that have been more than profitable, continues to work professionally without having been separated in any case by Koeman but at Barça they do not conceive that it will become a new ' Eto'o case ' and end up staying in the Barcelona discipline.
The Cameroonian was one of the heavyweights discarded by Pep Guardiola along with Ronaldinho and Deco when he took over the Barça ship to replace Frank Rijkaard in May 2008 but pressure from some important players in the dressing room convinced Santpedor to stay with ' Samu ' , which ended up being vital in the first triplet in the club's history before being transferred to Inter Milan as part of the operation that brought Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barça .
