Suarez at Barca until June 2021
Print Edition
BARCELONA striker Luis Suarez has signed a contract extension with the Catalan club until June 2021.
Yesterday’s signing came a day after the new deal — which carries a buyout clause of 200 million euros (about US$210 million) — was announced by Barcelona.
Suarez’s previous contract with the Spanish club was due to expire in 2019.
Since transferring from Liverpool in 2014, Suarez has scored 97 goals in 116 matches, helping Barcelona win eight titles, including the 2015 UEFA Champions League. The 29-year-old Uruguay striker has 13 goals in 20 games with Barcelona this season.
He netted 40 times in the league last season, making him top scorer in Spain and landing him the European Golden Shoe award for the top marksman in Europe’s top five leagues.
“I feel complete happiness because I am where I want to be,” Suarez said on Thursday. “It’s now official. I never put any obstacles in the way of a renewal. I will never lose my ambition and enthusiasm for winning trophies and scoring goals.”
Suarez’s contract renewal comes two months after Brazil strike partner Neymar penned a new deal with Barcelona, until 2021, meaning talisman Lionel Messi is the only member of the feted “MSN” attacking trident who has yet to sign a new contract with the club. The Argentina star has a deal until 2018.
