DBasia.news – Luis Suarez mentioned Barcelona President, Josep Maria Bartomeu about his future at the club. Suarez said that Bartomeu should have told himself directly when the team no longer wanted his services.
After appointing Ronald Koeman as the new coach, Barcelona plans to massively overhaul their squad. Reportedly there are only seven players who will be retained.
Suarez’s name has not been included in the list of players that Barcelona will defend. However, he admitted that he had never been spoken to in this matter.
“There was talk about some names the president gave, about changes that could be made. But nobody told me they wanted to do it without me,” Suarez said in an interview with El Pais.
“If this is the wish of the club, it would be great if the person in charge said it directly to me. Better to tell me if I am one of the people they want out.”
Rumors that Barcelona will release Suarez are actually quite surprising. The Uruguay striker is still showing his sharpness this season, scoring 21 goals despite being sidelined for a while due to injury.
Moreover, Suarez is arguably one of the players who can work together optimally with Lionel Messi. Something that Antoine Griezmann has not been able to do.
Suarez himself has no objections if he is no longer needed by Barcelona. Even though he wanted to stay, he had no problem having to continue his career elsewhere.
“I also want what’s best for the club and my plan today is to continue that. But if the club thinks that I can be dumped, I have no problem talking to them. “
