Luis Suarez’s return to Atletico Madrid was like a movie story. Barcelona rejected him, the Quilters welcomed him with open arms, and then they won the title together. With 21 goals in 32 games, the Uruguayan significantly contributed to Atletico finishing at the top of the Primera last season. He was the main ’trump card’ of Diego Simeone, but he is no longer that. Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi was reunited with his old Barcelona teammates Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez this weekend. The three, great friends as well as former colleagues, came together in Paris to celebrate the birthday of Messi’s wife, Antonella. pic.twitter.com/hOWCcFWYBM— Football España (@footballespana_) March 1, 2022 Although he has scored nine goals this season and has three assists in 25 Spanish league matches, the reliable striker is far from the level at which he played upon his return to the club or during his stay in Barcelona. He seems to have reached the age (35) when injuries are taking it’s tool. Cholo’s faithful soldier Savic: We will follow Simeone to the graveInjury breaks meant that he did not provide good games in continuity, which the Spanish media cite as the main reason why Atletico Madrid is reconsidering the continuation of cooperation with Suraez after the end of the season. The current contract expires on June 30th 2022, and the big question is whether a new one will be signed. Atletico Madrid brass, along with coach Diego Simone are not thinking about it at the moment, because negotiations have not started yet, but the statement of President Enrique Cerez for Radio Kope does not sound promising.”The season is not over yet and we are not thinking about it at the moment. He is equally important to every other player in the team” Cerezo said when asked about the new contract for Suarez. (3.50) MALLORCA (3.15) REAL SOCIEDAD (2.35)While Atletico are mouling over whether the injuries could further affect Suarez’s minutes next season, there are clubs who believe that the Uruguayan still has something to say in football. Among those interested are Inter Miami, Sevilla, Ajax, Aston Villa and Botafogo. Although he started the season in the shadows again, the role of the leading Athletic striker is currently played by forward Angel Correa. Whether we will see the Argentine in tandem with Suarez beyond June 2022, is a big question.
