Barcelona sources react to Sporting's Luis Suárez rumours and say... | OneFootball

Luis Suárez’s name has once again been linked with Barcelona, but the Catalan club was keen to make it clear that the Sporting forward is not in their plans. Official blaugrana sources denied any interest in the Colombian international, ruling out the possibility of a move to Camp Nou.

According to SPORT, the Sporting player was offered around two months ago during a transfer meeting led by his agent, Fali Ramadani. The club was informed of the conditions for a potential transfer, with the striker’s price said to be around €80 million, but it took no steps toward opening negotiations.

Suárez was even assessed internally, but the conclusion appears to have been that, at this stage, he does not meet the desired requirements. The Colombian’s quality is not in question, but the high investment required and sporting considerations led Barcelona to pull away.

The Catalans’ priority remains Julián Álvarez, with the blaugrana board determined to try to complete the signing of the Argentine forward. The club hopes to open negotiations and find a solution that would allow them to bring the player to Barcelona, keeping him as their main target to strengthen the attack.

So, despite the rumors suggesting a possible move for Luis Suárez to the Catalan side, there are currently no negotiations whatsoever between Joan Laporta and Frederico Varandas over the green-and-white club’s forward.
