Although he knows it might be impossible, Luis Suarez still shared the way in which he would convince Leo Messi to play for Atletico Madrid. 

Leo Messi and Luis Suarez playing together for Atletico Madrid. That doesn’t sound too bad, does it? Both of the most prolific players of the last decade struck up a perfect partnership at FC Barcelona and could cross paths again during their final years at the highest level. We still have no idea how that will look like, but Luis Suarez might try to convince his friend to play for Atletico Madrid.

After this Saturday’s match, ‘Lucho’ scored his fifth goal with the Colchoneros and remains at the top of the goal-scoring table. He is proving he wasn’t finished as Barcelona’s previous board of directors believed. After silencing all his critics, Luis Suarez has a plan to lure Messi back to his side. Although Atletico Madrid won’t be able to pay Messi what he requests as a salary, they can still rely on Suarez to convince him. Their friendship is unbreakable and anything is possible between these two. 

Suarez’s specific plan to lure Messi.

Even though he confessed that luring Messi to Atletico Madrid is not truly possible, he did play with the idea. 

During an interview with Diario AS, Suarez said this about Messi: “Leo is mature enough to make his own decisions. I will always fight for him to be happy where he is. If at a certain moment there’s a chance, I will ask him to let me know. It’s obvious I will speak wonders about Atletico Madrid. But after that, he is the one who has to make the choice when he is analyzing his options. 

“All the people who shared time with Leo can speak wonders about him. About the type of player he is and what a fantastic human being he is off the pitch. He always helps the younger guys, he gives them advice. All players who were with him know who he is.”
