DBasia.news – Barcelona striker, Luis Suarez, expressed hope for his club to be able to find a new striker who will continue his position in the team in the long run.
“As a fan of the club, I have to think about the future,” the Uruguayan striker told BeIN SPORTS in an exclusive interview, Friday (6/12).
“Maybe it’s best if (the club) recruits young or experienced players to carry on the number 9 in Barcelona.”
The 32-year-old player has scored 187 goals and donated 99 assists in 263 matches with the La Liga club, but he welcomed the idea of a new player to improve healthy competition in the Barcelona squad.
On that occasion, Suarez discussed Lionel Messi’s statement regarding the future of his career after snatching his sixth Ballon d’Or.
“His statement was misinterpreted … He wanted to say, given his age, he might not retire in the next few years.”
However, he believes his close friend and team-mate wont retire in the near future: “I’m sure Leo Messi will continue his career for a long time.”
The striker nicknamed El Pistolero then discussed Antoine Griezmann’s adaptation in the squad, saying that the French player felt comfortable and calm (in Barcelona).”
Suarez was also asked about the chance of
returning Neymar to Camp Nou, saying he would love to see him playing football
where he feels happy.”
