The exit of Luis Suárez has taken a backseat to the storm unleashed by Leo Messi last Tuesday when he said that he wanted to leave Barcelona.
The Argentine has turned the mess that had been made with the Uruguayan because of the peculiar way in which Ronald Koeman communicated to him that he had to leave into an unimportant annoyance. Nobody cares about that anymore.
In any case, it seemed that Barca were going to have to sweat to solve the sale of the Uruguayan forward, but finally, they will have things more or less easy.
The attacker has a great reputation despite his enormous physical problems and his age. Juventus, Ajax, and Leciester like him, and he has also been linked with the MLS.
The ball is in his court, while it seems complicated that Barcelona are going to get some money. With saving his big wage in the year of his contract that he has left, it could be useful.
Ajax, because of the player's past there, were the first team interested in signing him, although it was quickly known that the deal was complicated to sustain economically.
Juventus, who offered an impossible swap with Gonzalo Higuaín, took the baton, although the striker doesn't seem close to them either.
Leicester have also entered the scene in the last few hours. They would return Luis Suárez to the Premier League and he would be reunited with Brendan Rodgers, the manager who knew how to get the best performance out of him. However, there are no big advancements in relation to this possible deal.
The MLS is the last open route for Suárez, who is still waiting for the offer that convinces him most with no rush. The ball is in the court of a Barcelona for which time is running against it when it comes to finding him a destination.
