Oscar Tabarez has been the manager of the Uruguayan national football team since 2006 and he knows just about everything that goes around concerning his players. The 67 years old manager has gone out to the media stating that the transfer of Luis Suarez to Barcelona did not surprise him at all as he went on saying that it was a move that was already being worked out back in November of 2013.
“Luis had told me about the Barcelona interest in November last year a few days before the Jordan match which was way back in November of 2013. At that time the talks between Liverpool and Barcelona were very good and an agreement was arranged back then. After the amazing season he had Liverpool did not want to sell him understandably and they began to back out of the deal they made with Barcelona in November last year. Luis got word of this a day after the victory against England. He was a changed man, he got upset and his head was elsewhere. He could barely train with the rest of the team. I had to have him train with a different group from the main squad.” Tabarez said.
Even before the Barcelona had officially signed Luis Suarez from Liverpool, shops around the world had already begun to sell shirts with the name of the Uruguayan attacker with the colors and jersey of Barcelona.
The player that went on making a name for himself in the past season of the Premier League as he scored goals in just about every single match and turned into the main figure for Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool already knew that his future was awaiting him in Spain with Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
