As per a report, Barcelona must pay the sum of €14m if they intend to ship out Luis Suarez by terminating his contract.
Barcelona must think again if they plan on forcing Luis Suarez out of the club.
The Ronald Koeman era at the club has just begun and part of that agenda includes trimming the sqaud.
The Dutch manager has told a number of players they can leave this summer. Luis Suarez happens to be one of them.
The issue of how the veteran forward has been treated so far is a topic for debate. For a player of his reputation at the club, many feel Koeman should have done better than tell the player to leave the club via a mere phone call.
Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini even called out the Barca boss in what he branded a ‘disrespect’.
With news that Suarez is up for grabs this summer, he’s had quite a number of suitors already.
Juventus and Ajax have both shown concrete interest in the 33-year-old. However, his wages could prove a stumbling block to any transfer.
Some reports say Barca are even ready to terminate Suarez”s contract just to free up space in the squad.
However, Goal report that the Catalan giants will need to cough out €14m for that to happen. That fee will cover for compensation fees and the remainder of the duration on his current contract.
The striker is still on contract with Barca for another year but is open to leaving the club if a deal can be agreed.
Suarez continues to train with the club and personally plans to run down the length of his contract.
