Luis Suarez Joins Atletico Madrid
Spanish giants Barcelona have agreed to let striker Luis Suarez join La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid.
The 33-year-old Uruguayan agreed terms on a reduced salary with Atletico after a move to Juventus fell through because of passport issues.
Atletico will have to pay a nominal fee of no more than 4m euros for the 33-year-old, which will be based on variables such as Champions League qualification.

Suarez will earn half of the 30m euros a year he was on at Barca at Atletico.
The move ends Suarez’s six-year career with Barca, during which he scored 198 goals in 283 appearances and formed one third of a feared front three with Lionel Messi and Neymar.
He joined the club for £74m from Liverpool in 2014 and helped them win four La Liga titles, four Copa del Reys and the Champions League and Club World Cup in 2015.
