Juve, Suárez approaches: Barça does not summon him and he … studies

The gunman doesn’t shoot, but don’t think his hands aren’t itching. Barcelona did not call Luis Suárez yesterday for the friendly against Nastic and he did not react: there are no messages between the lines on social networks. The Spanish media have spoken of a contact with Atlético de Madrid, which however, before focusing on Luis, should sell Diego Costa, and he has not commented. Apparent calm. However, reality says that on Saturday the scene changed in two directions. The exclusion of Suárez from Koeman’s plans at Barcelona is now increasingly clear and the path to Juventus … as well. Not simple, but clear. First step, the Italian exam. In Perugia, day after day, articles and unofficial confirmations increase: there is a project according to which Suárez would take the passport exam with the University for Foreigners of Perugia.

It has been a long time since he understood that Ronald Koeman continues to move him away from Barça. When the season started, the Dutch manager spoke to the Gunslinger and clearly told them that it was not part of his plans. Then the two began to see each other every day in San Joan Despì, the technical center of Barça, always remaining distant. It is not true that Koeman had Luis Suárez train alone, this would have immediately led to an official complaint from the player, but it did make him understand the current air: Luis does part of the work with the group, but not with the team. full training. And with this in mind, it is convenient to read the post on Instagram from last week, when Suárez wrote: “I will never stop enjoying something I have always wanted.” With a programmatic hashtag: “Nobody takes away my desire.”

Not even the last episode. Yesterday morning Suárez was left out of the first call for Koeman. For the first friendly match, won with Nastic, the Barcelona coach called up 25 players. Suarez was not there, and that cannot be considered a surprise. Koeman’s line is clear, dictated by technical but also economic issues: Barça desperately needs to lighten the payroll and Suárez’s salary is very high. Luis spent Saturday with his family and had the opportunity to study. The Italian exam is approaching and is currently the biggest obstacle in their passage to Juventus, a marriage highly desired by both parties. Meanwhile, he hopes to reach an agreement with Barça for the payment of the last year of his contract.

Juventus, 600 kilometers away, awaits him, without stopping to look at the transfer market. The most talked about name of the weekend is Olivier Giroud, an alternative track appreciated for its low price. He costs 5 million but of course he has only scored 17 goals in the last three Premier League championships. Other level. The most interesting, of course, is Edin Dzeko, with the corollary of the necessary unions between Rome and Naples. Half a dozen forwards, a high school text comprehension test and a center forward with more than 400 goals ahead: this is the Juventus transfer market. If you need confirmation that the summer of 2020 is the strangest of all, please help yourself.
