If Suarez Leaves, Barcelona Could Get a Great Opportunity to Recruit Lautaro Martinez

DBasia.news – Barcelona are reportedly looking to release Luis Suarez from the team. If this happens, Barca are said to have a better chance of bringing Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.

Luis Suarez became victim to Barcelona’s policy with the new coach, Ronald Koeman. Barcelona want to build a team with talented young players. For that, a number of senior players entered the selling basket.

One of the players who is no longer part of Barcelona’s plans is Luis Suarez. The former Liverpool player wants to be removed to make room for other players.

Indeed, Luis Suarez is still diligent in scoring goals for Barcelona. The spearhead from Uruguay gained 21 goals plus 12 assists this season. Suarez became Lionel Messi’s duet friend on the front lines.

However, injury succession and slowing pace were negative in the scoring. Moreover, Suarez’s contract will expire in June 2021.

Barcelona want to get rid of Suarez in the summer transfer market 2020. Barca do not want to terminate the contract because it will pay severance pay worth 25 million euros which is the player’s salary in one season.

The problem is, it is difficult to find a team that is willing to accommodate Suarez, who has an exorbitant salary. Ajax Amsterdam, which is reportedly interested, only wants to pay 3 million euros per season. The situation is getting tangled because Suarez wants to stay until his contract is over.

If Luis Suarez leaves, Barcelona will move to sign Lautaro Martinez. Apart from the space on the front lines, Suarez’s departure will also make Barca get fresh funds. Reportedly, Inter Milan set a price of 111 million euros for Lautaro.
