Barcelona confirm new Suarez deal

Barcelona have confirmed that striker Luis Suarez has agreed a new four-and-a-half-year contract.

The Uruguay international, signed from Liverpool in 2014 for a reported fee of €82million, will officially sign his new deal at the club offices on Friday.

The contract, which means Suarez is committed to the Camp Nou side until the age of 34, contains a release clause of €200m and reportedly contains the option to extend by a further year.

"FC Barcelona announce that they have reached an agreement with Luis Suárez for the extension of the player's contract until June 30, 2021," a Barca statement read.

"The buy-out clause in the contract is set at €200m.

"The new contract will be signed on Friday, December 16 at 13.00 CET at the club offices."

Suarez, who has won two LaLiga titles, two Copas del Rey and the Champions League in a hugely successful two years in Spain, said of the news: "The renewal was what both myself and the club wanted.

"I feel complete happiness."

He claimed the European Golden Shoe for the second time in his career last season after scoring 40 league goals, while he hit a total of 59 in 53 appearances in all competitions.
