Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez has not had a big impact at Atletico Madrid in the new season. The ex-Barcelona and Ajax Amsterdam player has been overshadowed by Argentine international Angel Correa who has become the regular source of goals for Atletico Madrid this season.

 

Luis Suarez was the difference maker for Atletico Madrid who were able to win the Spanish La Liga title last season thereby ending a seven-year wait. The veteran Uruguayan striker more than repaid the €6m spent to sign him from Barcelona last summer. Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman didn’t want Luis Suarez when he was appointed into the job at the start of last season and that decision benefitted Atletico Madrid a great deal as he scored the goals that propelled the club to the title, while Koeman and Barcelona could only settle for third place. Luis Suarez scored 21 goals for Atletico Madrid on the way to the title. He was involved in 30 games for the club. His goal in the 2-1 comeback win over Real Valladolid on the final day of last season sealed the title for the capital club ahead of city rivals Real Madrid. Read more »

He has fallen behind Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham in the pecking order at Chelsea in recent times and even though he has never handed in a transfer request, it has always been his desire to leave Chelsea.

The 34-year-old almost signed for Inter Milan in the January transfer window after his former manager Antonio Conte offered him the chance to join them but the proposed move was blocked by Chelsea as they wanted him to remain at the club as another striker option. Milan were part of the uhs that tried to sign Suarez last summer, as well as Juventus, but he ended up signing for Spanish La Liga giants Atlético Madrid and would then go on to help the Rojiblancos to win their first league title since 2014.
