Barcelona reach an agreement with Milan target over a four-year deal

La Liga giants Barcelona let Luis Suarez leave the club in the summer transfer window but also earned 6 million euros on his transfer to Atletico Madrid. The 33-year-old is a legend for Barcelona who has contributed a lot to the club’s success in the past 6 years. He left the club as the third-highest goalscorer for the Catalan outfit and has already settled at his new destination.

Suarez’s replacement yet to be determined

Suarez netted a brace on his debut and looks steady at the Rojiblancos. On the other hand, BarcA has failed to find a replacement for the departed forward.

Ronald Koeman wished to sign Memphis Depay from Olympique Lyon but could not complete the transfer even though both the clubs reached an agreement over the fees. La Liga did not allow the move to go through on the basis of the salary caps violation by Barcelona. Koeman was disappointed with the deal-breaking down which is reasonable citing the response from the start of La Liga. The Dutch gaffer did say they can play without a proper striker after the first few matches but the statement is coming to haunt him.
