Luis Suarez has finally sealed his acrimonious exit from Barcelona after reportedly agreeing a termination of his contract. Despite long-term interest from Juventus it appears that Atletico Madrid is the next destination for the Uruguayan striker, according to Spanish outlet RAC.
The Uruguayan and the Blaugrana have agreed to rescind his contract, and he will now leave the Camp Nou as a free agent in this window.
The 33-year-old will renounce part of his salary and will leave one year before the expiry of his contract, RAC1 has reported, news that has since been confirmed by a number of other major outlets in Spain.
Juventus, meanwhile, have confirmed that the striker will not join them in this window.
"When there was the chance for him to come, we looked into it and the citizenship issue was an obstacle," Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici said, as quoted by Marca.
"It wasn't possible to cut the time, so we had to pull out."
The latest reports in Spain suggest that Suarez has agreed terms with Atletico Madrid and will join Barca's rivals on a two-year deal.
He featured in 283 matches for the Blaugrana, scoring an impressive 198 goals and assisting another 109 strikes.
