Su\u00e1rez\u00a0has a year left on his contract but <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/search\/Ronald+Koeman\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ronald Koeman<\/a> clearly wants to mix up the Barcelona attack with fresh faces.<\/p>\n<p>An overhaul has been looming over the Nou Camp for a while now and, with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/search\/Lionel+Messi\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lionel Messi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/08\/30\/lionel-messi-fails-to-show-up-testing\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">also linked with a move away<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/search\/Ivan+Rakitic\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Rakitic<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/09\/01\/ivan-rakitic-completes-sevilla-return-from-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">completing a move to Sevilla<\/a>, it seems the overhaul is finally starting to take place.<\/p>\n<h3>Going From Messi to Ronaldo<\/h3>\n<p>Luis Su\u00e1rez has spent Six years at Barcelona since his move from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> 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 Su\u00e1rez\u00a0makes the switch to Italy, the 33 year-old will have<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dea698d9\/Cristiano-Ronaldo\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> as his new team mate.<\/p>\n<h3>The Potential Juventus Attack<\/h3>\n<p>The potential firepower Andrea Pirlo may have for his debut season at Juventus is frightening. With the likes of<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4fa7cb9b\/Douglas-Costa\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Douglas Costa<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e0921a4f\/Paulo-Dybala\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Paulo Dybala<\/a>, Cristiano Ronaldo and now potentially Luis Su\u00e1rez, Juventus should be a real force in the upcoming season in both the league and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>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. Su\u00e1rez\u00a0will 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.<\/p>\n<h3>A Barcelona Career to Remember<\/h3>\n<p>Over the six seasons Su\u00e1rez\u00a0has 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.<\/p>\n<p>They were then demolished in the Champions League quarter final by Bayern Munich 8-2 in what ended a disappointing season. Despite Barcelona&#8217;s disappointing season, Su\u00e1rez\u00a0still managed to score 21 goals in 36 games, proving his quality even in the worst of times.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"WPu310HkR_tX-nPy6UZoLg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1266338510\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'WPu310HkR_tX-nPy6UZoLg',sig:'l5CnwAPJ8z_KQZsmbnBOFB9hpv1TZdFby6nHElHA5m8=',w:'594px',h:'379px',items:'1266338510',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Romeo Agresti, Juventus\u00a0are beginning to show serious interest in\u00a0Barcelona forward Luis Su\u00e1rez in preparation for the season.
