Veteran forward, Luis Suarez has agreed to joined Juventus.
Suarez will move to Serie A on a free transfer – or perhaps a nominal fee – if he can negotiate his release from the Spanish giants.
The Uruguayan has a year to run on a contract he signed in 2016 but if he played 60% of games during 2020-21 it would be extended for another year.
Suarez has stated that he would be happy to be paid off what’s left on his contact.
Italian media reported on Friday that he would also need to pass a citizenship test to play in Italy – he has a Uruguayan passport and played in Spain thanks to his wife’s Italian passport, enough to be considered European in La Liga.
The 33-year-old’s move has no bearing on the future of his friend Lionel Messi.
Suarez and Messi – along with their families – are close but Messi’s decision over whether to stay or remain at the Nou Camp will not be affected by his team-mate’s move.
