According to Romeo Agresti, Juventus are beginning to show serious interest in Barcelona forward Luis Suárez in preparation for the season. The clubs are understood to be in constant contact and Juventus are now serious about a deal.
Suárez a Serious Target for Juventus
Suárez Not Part of Ronald Koeman’s Plans
Luis Suárez has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Spanish side and has been linked with a move away for weeks. Suárez has a year left on his contract but Ronald Koeman clearly wants to mix up the Barcelona attack with fresh faces.
An overhaul has been looming over the Nou Camp for a while now and, with Lionel Messi also linked with a move away, and Ivan Rakitic completing a move to Sevilla, it seems the overhaul is finally starting to take place.
Going From Messi to Ronaldo
Luis Suárez has spent Six years at Barcelona since his move from Liverpool back in 2014 and has been in great company ever since with one of the best colleagues you could ask for in Lionel Messi. If the move is to take place, and Suárez makes the switch to Italy, the 33 year-old will have Cristiano Ronaldo as his new team mate.
The Potential Juventus Attack
The potential firepower Andrea Pirlo may have for his debut season at Juventus is frightening. With the likes of Douglas Costa, Paulo Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo and now potentially Luis Suárez, Juventus should be a real force in the upcoming season in both the league and Champions League.
Juventus will be expected to to get further in the Champions League this season after a disappointing exit last season against Lyon in the round of 16. Suárez will add even more goals to a dangerous front line and will aim to help them achieve a Champions League trophy for the first time since the 1995/96 season.
A Barcelona Career to Remember
Over the six seasons Suárez has been at Barcelona, the Uruguayan has played a total of 283 games, scoring an impressive 198 goals for them along the way. In the most recent season, Barcelona fell five points short of champions Real Madrid in La Liga.
They were then demolished in the Champions League quarter final by Bayern Munich 8-2 in what ended a disappointing season. Despite Barcelona’s disappointing season, Suárez still managed to score 21 goals in 36 games, proving his quality even in the worst of times.
