BARCELONA – Barcelona forward, Luis Suarez, is currently looking for a new club. The reason is, Barca’s new coach, Ronald Koeman, has decided not to use Suarez in his squad for the 2020-2021 season.
So far, Juventus has been said to be the strongest fan of Suarez. The club nicknamed the Bianconeri is even reported to have made contact and made a bid to hook Suarez.
Juve are looking for a new striker because they will no longer work with Gonzalo Higuain. Juve coach, Andrea Pirlo, is aware that currently Higuain has experienced a decline in performance so that he cannot be relied on to be the Bianconeri’s goal machine.

However, Juve are not the only club interested in Suarez. According to the report submitted ESPN, Wednesday (9/9/2020), Atletico Madrid, led by Diego Simeone, also wanted the services of the Uruguayan striker.
To be able to corner Juventus who had made contact first, Atletico also offered Suarez a higher salary. Thus, the final decision rests with Suarez as to which club he will choose.
If he joins Atletico, then Suarez has a number of advantages. Apart from being paid a higher salary, the 33-year-old bomber will not be too difficult to adapt to the style of football in the Spanish League.
