LUIS SUAREZ could link up with Cristiano Ronaldo as Juventus are reportedly interested in signing him.
The Catalans are planning a major overhaul after their humiliating Champions League exit and the Uruguayan is one of the stars they would be happy to let go.
Juventus are interested in signing Luis Suarez from Barcelona
He could link up with Juve superstar Cristiano Ronaldo if he makes the move
The 33-year-old has one season left on his contract but has a clause which automatically triggers a year extension if he plays 60 per cent of Barca’s games next campaign.
But Juventus are planning on moving for him this summer, according to Italian outlet TuttoMercato.
Ex-Arsenal star Marc Overmars is also said to be working hard to bring Suarez back to his old club Ajax.
And David Beckham’s Inter Miami have also been linked.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Keep an eye on Luis Suarez situation.
“He has not been mentioned by the president Bartomeu between the ‘untouchables’ and Barça would be ready to sell him if they’ll receive an ‘important bid’.”
Despite the interest, Suarez wants to stay at the Nou Camp for another year, according to Ovacion.
Barca were thrashed 8-2 by Bayern Munich last Friday night as they crashed out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.
Quique Setien was sacked and has already been replaced with Ronald Koeman.
And Lionel Messi reportedly demanded a transfer away from Barcelona this summer.
A mass exodus is now planned after the rout highlighted deep rooted issues at the Nou Camp.
It is said the Barca hierarchy consider Inter star Lautaro Martinez as a suitable replacement to Suarez – and he would also be cheaper.
Only seven “untouchables” are said to be safe from the planned cull this summer.
Messi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet, Nelson Semedo, Frenkie De Jong, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele are not for sale.
While future talents Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig are also said to be off limits to other clubs.
Club legend Gerard Pique has offered to leave for the good of the club.
Suarez finished the 2019/20 campaign with 21 goals and 12 assists in 36 games in all competitions.
