Luis Suarez has forged a great friendship with Lionel Messi but it looks increasingly likely that he will be plying his trade with his arch-nemesis, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronald Koeman might have pushed that domino that brought down Camp Nou. The  Dutch manager’s tactics of forcing out Luis Suarez backfired with Lionel Messi submitting burofax. 

The Argentine wants to end his Barcelona tenure this summer. The treatment of Suarez might have been the final nail in his fractious realationship with the board. 

Messi and Suarez share a great friendship but that might not be for long. According to Football Italia, the Uruguayan has been linked with a move to Turin to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. 

The former Liverpool man is considering his option and is interested in playing in tandem with CR7 and Paulo Dybala. 

However, the move will not come to fruition soon. The 33-year-old will be paid €14 million to cancel his Barcelona contract before joining the Old Lady.

Suarez will be replacing Gonzalo Higuain, who has also been told to find new suitors by Andrea Pirlo. Higuain’s treatment was much more human than his fellow South American. 

Pirlo had a polite discussion with him and informed him of his plans rather than relaying his decision over the phone.
