The former Barcelona striker went on to sign for Atletico Madrid and is helping his new side reign supreme in La Liga this season.
Before the start of this season, Barcelona informed Luis Suarez that they no longer required his services at the club. Former club president Joseph Bartomeu made it clear that the striker was free to join any club, and a move to Juventus was on the cards.
However, the move did not materialise due to passport issues, and Luis Suarez had to find a new club. He moved to Atletico Madrid and is now helping them top the league table.
Ronald Koeman has admitted that the striker’s move to their title rivals has hurt them. The move was surprisingly sanctioned by the club, despite knowing that they were directly strengthening their rivals.
Talking to The Athletic, Koeman said:
Barcelona are currently second in the league table but are far away from the top. Atletico Madrid are 10 points ahead right now and still have a game in hand.
Luis Suarez has been their best player this season. He has scored 14 goals in just 16 matches and is currently the top scorer in the league.
