Luis Suarez could be on his way back to Ajax after Josep Maria Bartomeu failed to confirm the striker’s future at Barcelona.

There have been murmurings that Ajax was considering making the most of the unease at Barcelona.

The Dutch giants are looking to bolster their numbers with some proven quality players to go along with their never-ending stream of prodigious talents.

Who better to start with than Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan international has enjoyed spells at Liverpool and Barcelona since he left Amsterdam after a season that saw him bang in 49 goals in all competitions.

His career numbers make for some impressive reading.

Suarez has enjoyed some of his best football at Barcelona. But as he enters the twilight of his career and appears to be a little more injury-prone with age, the club are ready to offload one of their top earners.

Josep Maria Bartomeu has promised a mass clearout, and when talking about players who he planned to keep and build the team around, Suarez’s name was nowhere to be heard.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano thinks a deal may be in the works.

This deal has some real credibility to it. With Ronald Koeman is set to be unveiled as the new boss at the Camp Nou any minute and talk of Donny Van De Beek being his first target.

The clubs have a good relationship from past deals, and a swap plus cash deal may help to get this one over the line.

Not many are safe at Barcelona by the looks of things.
