Now yes, now no. Now no, now yes... and when it seemed to be a yes, it was a no again. The back and forth of president Josep Maria Bartomeu with Luis Suárez has tested the striker's patience.
The termination of the Uruguayan's contract with Barcelona seemed to be closed, the player had even reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid, but a mistake in the agreement has paralysed the striker's exit from the club.
Despite the error, Suárez's conversations with the club were going well... Until this Tuesday when things took another 180-degree turn: according to the 'Marca' newspaper, Barca have backtracked and are not prepared to let him leave on a free.
And Atlético is not going to budge either. The Madrid side are not going to modify the agreed terms of the operation, at the moment, the arrival of the forward to Wanda Metropolitano is in doubt. After his non-incorporation to Juventus, Suárez, is on the verge of another failed signing.
The Madrid side, therefore, with an Alvaro Morata that has already successfully passed the medical examination with Juventus, are reconsidering the option of Edinson Cavani, who is currently without a team after his contract with PSG ended. The salary of the also ex-Napoli player is an issue for the Madrid club.
Luis Suárez, who trained this Tuesday under Ronald Koeman, has not said goodbye to his teammates or collected his belongings from Barcelona's sports facilities, as the newspaper 'AS' points out. His exit, which seemed to be closed, is again uncertain. And the unrest around Camp Nou - and around the figure of Bartomeu - does not stop growing.
