Barcelona star Luis Suarez has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Well-known Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has told Sky Sports that reported Manchester United target Luis Suarez will not leave Barcelona anytime soon.
The Sun recently reported that the Red Devils are interested in signing the former Liverpool striker.
It was reported that United manager Jose Mourinho is lining up a £135 million bid for the 29-year-old Uruguay international.
Balague has given his take on the speculation, claiming that Suarez will not leave Barcelona anytime soon.
“I’ve seen rumours in the British press about Manchester United preparing a £135m bid for Luis Suarez,” Balague told Sky Sports.
“The dream of Luis Suarez was to come to Barcelona. He has no intention whatsoever of leaving Barcelona anytime soon.
“It’s where he wants to end his career as a top athlete. Other clubs may try it, of course, but it would be futile.”
Suarez joined Spanish giants Barcelona from Premier League club Liverpool in the summer of 2014 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport at the time to be worth £75 million.
The former Ajax striker has been a massive hit at Camp Nou and has established himself an an integral part of the team.
The 29-year-old has won La Liga twice and the Champions League once already with Barca.
Suarez has scored seven goals and created 13 chances in nine La Liga appearances for Barcelona so far this season.
The Uruguayan striker has scored two goals and created four chances in three Champions League matches for Luis Enrique’s side so far this campaign.
