Luis Suarez transfer to Atletico Madrid: Ronald Koeman's plans for Barcelona

Last week, Luis Suarez completed his £5.5 million (€6m) move to Atletico Madrid from Barcelona and on Thursday, the star forward broke down in tears during his exit interview. Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool back in the summer of 2014 and helped the Spanish giants to nine major trophies. He scored 198 goals in 283 appearances for Barcelona but was informed that he wouldn't be part of Ronald Koeman's plans for the future. 

Reports claim that Koeman held a minute-long phone call with Luis Suarez while informing the 33-year old that he was no longer going to continue playing his football at the Camp Nou. The Barcelona board came under heavy criticism from former players including Neymar and Samuel Eto'o for their handling of the situation. More so, reports from the Daily Mail claim that Barcelona's decision to cash in on Suarez played a part in Lionel Messi handing in his transfer request to leave the club.

While Suarez has not been replaced yet in terms of personnel, Barcelona were reportedly looking at Lyon's Memphis Depay to fill that void. However, that move appears to be dead in the water considering Barcelona have their hands tied by Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
