Recently multiple top tier journalists have reported that Suarez has passed the Italian language test that allows him a permit to play in Italy ahead of a massive move to Juventus. The 33-year-old under Andrea Pirlo looks to be a sure thing as the current transfer window has only three weeks left. The center-forward has one more year left on his contract and Barcelona are looking to pay off the South American center forward in order to get rid of him. According to many Spanish sources, the striker was not ready to leave Barcelona until he received the full payment mentioned in his contract leading the Blaugranas looking to pay him out in the current window.

The former Southampton manager, Koeman has made it extremely clear that the veteran will not be of any use to him for his plans in the upcoming season. Hence, the Uruguayan was heavily linked to the likes of Paris Saint Germain, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus. Reports now state that the center-forward has agreed on personal terms with Juventus.

The no.9 forward moved to the Nou Camp in the 14/15 season and joined the likes of Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi. These three went on to form one of the greatest front trios in the game’s history, popularly dubbed MSN. The former Liverpool center-forward scored 198 goals for the Catalans over six seasons winning almost every trophy there is. Having served the Blaugranas so well, Suarez is now in Barcelona’s top 5 highest goal scorers list, indeed a huge achievement inside just 6 seasons.

A move to Juventus at 33 will be a fantastic transfer for the former Ajax man as he will get a shot at rejuvenating his career as he has been having trouble since the 2018 World cup. He will also get to play with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, and former teammate Arthur Melo to see out his days in top-flight football.
