DBasia.news – Luis Suarez joined Atletico Madrid from Barcelona in the transfer market last summer. According to the 33-year-old Uruguay striker, it is not because he is not included in the plans of new coach, Ronald Koeman.
Suarez revealed that Koeman didn’t really want to let him go. However, Barcelona officials have decided to get rid of him.
“Koeman told me that I was not leaving the club, and that I was still in his plans,” Suarez told ESPN. “Not the coach, but the directors who got rid of me from Barcelona.”
Suarez further explained that this decision was not Koeman’s. Koeman actually wanted to keep him at Camp Nou.
“If a coach comes and says that you are not in his plans, then you must start wondering if Koeman or the directors do not want you there,” said Suarez.
“Koeman called and told me, but 10 days after knowing I was leaving.”
“He said if I couldn’t find a new club, he would consider me,” he added.
