Jakarta –
When it comes to recruiting opportunities Luis Suarez open this summer, Atletico Madrid can’t just let it go. Atletico have wanted him for a long time.
Atletico recruited Suarez from Barcelona, at a price that is arguably very cheap. The Colchoneros only spent 6 million euros, which is attached to the bonus clauses.
Cheap because Suarez, despite being 33 years old, is believed to still be able to contribute a lot to Atletico, one of which is with goals. In six seasons with Barcelona, the player from Uruguay was able to score 195 goals in 283 appearances.
More than that, Suarez is a long-held hope that Atletico has kept. Diego Simeone revealed that the desire to bring in the former Liverpool striker did not suddenly appear because there was an opportunity this year.
“We’ve spoken to him in the past, before he joined Barcelona. He chose a different path and had six successful, extraordinary and good years,” said the Atletico coach.
“We are very enthusiastic and excited for him to adapt to our demands as soon as possible and so that his goals can keep us fighting in the positions we have always occupied,” he added. Brand.
To get Suarez, Atletico are willing to let go of the younger Alvaro Morata. Even though Morata was the team’s top scorer last season with 16 goals, almost double the record for Joao Felix (9) who was in second place.
But Simeone believes this decision is the best for Atletico. Suarez has a very good history with goals.
“I believe Suarez’s arrival will mean that we will continue to grow as a club and as a team. Let’s hope he can continue to record the historic figures that he carved at Barcelona,” he continued.
“Speaking of Suarez, we all know. He is a reference. He played well and his movement in the penalty box is his strength.”
“When it comes to the possibility of Alvaro leaving, the best thing to improve is to find someone who has scored more goals than him. When Suarez appeared, it was not easy to find a replacement for Alvaro, but the numbers speak,” said Simeone.
Luis Suarez has the opportunity to make his debut with Atletico in the match against Granada at the Wanda Metropolitano, Sunday (9/27/2020) tonight WIB.
