It’s now official: Luis Suarez will be a Barcelona player next season (albeit after a few months sitting in the shadows – or his new Spanish apartment – waiting for his global ban to finish in November), as long as he passes his medical (surely a formality) and agrees personal terms (again, it would be a shock if he hadn’t already). Liverpool will now be £60-70m better off, though the departure of their wayward talisman will mean that manager Brendan Rodgers will have to extend his transfer dealings further than what was initially planned.
