Luis Suarez talks about his Barça contract renewal while with Uruguay

The 29-year-old forward is confident of signing new terms before the calendar year is out

Luis Suarez took advantage of his appearance in a press conference to preview Uruguay’s game against Ecuador to comment on his contract renewal with Barcelona. 

The Uruguayan forward assured that “everything is on the right path. We’re finishing the talks.” Luis Suarez was referring to the negotiations which his agent, Pere Guardiola, is having with the club. The basic terms of the contract are defined and it’s now a case of ironing out the finer details. 

Barcelona’s intention is for Suarez to extend his current terms, which expire in 2019, until 2021. At the same time, he will see a wage increase to represent his status as one of the stars of the team. The conditions will be similar to Neymar’s. 

Suarez has always manifested it’s his priority to remain at the club and also said that “Barça is the club I’ve always wanted to be at.”  

The forward is confident the conversations will reach a happy ending in the coming weeks and that he will sign his new deal before the end of the year.
