Barca Still In For Luis Suarez Despite Biting Saga

Despite the exemplary sanction imposed by FIFA and the poor image that Luis Suárez has shown to the world, Barcelona still want to go ahead and sign him. Further still, they feel that the incident could even be worked in their favour.

Bartomeu feels that the situation changed the moment the forward sank his teeth into Chiellini's shoulder, and that Liverpool are no longer in a strong negotiating position.

The Premier League might well prove to be a living hell for the Uruguayan. This is exactly what the higher-ups at Anfield fear and more and more of them are calling for his departure.


Barcelona are looking to capitalise on the situation. If at first it was considered that the player's rescission clause could be brought down from €87.5 million to €60 million, now the figures being mentioned are around the €50 million mark.

The Catalan club also wants to make it crystal clear in the player's contract that there will be heavy sanctions should he bite again or commit other such unsportsmanlike acts.
