Let’s take a look at the numbers of Luis Suarez’s imminent transfer to Atletico Madrid, it has been confirmed that ‘Lucho’ is a Colchonero.
Although it’s not official yet, Luis Suarez reached an agreement to become Atletico Madrid’s most recent transfer. The Uruguay international decided to remain in the Spanish La Liga in order to keep enlarging his legend in the competition.
From the moment he was told that Barcelona was no longer an ideal place for him, Atletico Madrid made contact. Diego Simeone considers Luis Suarez the type of player who fits perfectly with his style of play. Every team that ‘Cholo’ manages tends to have a combative striker who loves making defenders angry through intimidation.
Luis Suarez has that ‘Charrua’ demeanor that Simeone loves in players who were born in Uruguay. The still Barcelona player doesn’t mind getting his hand dirty when it comes to becoming a problem for defenders. Atletico Madrid had Diego Costa in this role but the Brazilian striker lost his edge a while ago.
Plus, Luis has the experience of playing alongside a talented playmaker such as Messi. Diego Simeone convinced the striker to sign for his club with the Joao Felix card. The young Portuguese forward has a bright future ahead of him as a playmaker who can help Suarez increase his goal count.
Morata out, Suarez in.
Comparing Alvaro Morata with Luis Suarez is extremely unfair. The only way they can be compared is how much money they gathered through their transfers, Morata actually surpasses Suarez in this aspect. But as far as career goes, the Uruguay international is far more accomplished than the Spaniard.
We can easily see why ‘Cholo’ Simeone made the effort to personally call Luis Suarez in order to woo him to make a decision. Marca reports that the Argentine manager immediately called the striker to let him know his career would improve even more if he played for the Colchoneros.
Having ‘Profe’ Ortega as the physical therapist is a major plus for veterans like Suarez. Although Juventus was already savoring the possibility of signing Suarez. ‘Cholo’ was smart in his approach when he attempted to convince the striker.
Atletico Madrid will get the Uruguay international on a free transfer but will pay him €9 million per-season for the next two years. At least Messi can rest easy because his best friend won’t leave Spain and they’ll still be able to hang out.
