Luis Suárez does a lot of water in the wine to realize his transition to Atlético Madrid. The 33-year-old attacker, who comes from Barcelona for up to six million euros, is according to Marca agreed to a salary reduction of no less than sixty percent.

In the Wanda Metropolitano, Suárez is reportedly going to earn nine million euros gross a year. At Barcelona, ​​Suárez still had an ongoing contract until next year, which had earned him 22 million euros gross. If the ex-Ajax player had played at least sixty percent of the matches in his last contract year, his contract would automatically have been extended for another season.

On Thursday afternoon, Suárez said goodbye to Barça in tears. “This is incredibly difficult for me,” he said at a specially scheduled press conference. “I leave a lot of friends behind. An emotional person is now leaving Barcelona. I want to thank my family for all the support. They have experienced my good and bad moments up close. I also want to thank the fans for their love, for their appreciation. I will never forget that. And I also want to thank the staff for everything. “

Suárez goes into the books as Barcelona’s third top scorer of all time. The forward from Liverpool in 2014 scored 195 goals and 100 assists in 283 official games. Suárez, who seemed to be on his way to Juventus for a long time, has signed with Atlético Madrid for two seasons. Another farewell match for Suárez at Barcelona will follow, it was announced on Thursday afternoon.
