Media reports revealed that the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, the Barcelona striker, has refused to join Juventus in the current summer Mercato, despite his previous agreement with the "Juventus".

The main reason for the failure to complete the deal lies in the "bureaucracy" that delayed the "Pistolero" obtaining Italian citizenship, and which was supposed to start the first steps of this process tomorrow with the Italian language exam.

According to the Catalan radio "RAC1", the supposed deadline for Suarez to obtain citizenship will be extended beyond October 6, so that he will not occupy a non-European seat in the "old lady" team.

This means that Suarez will not be able to play in the group stage of the Champions League, because each team will present the names of the players participating in the tournament on the 6th of next month.

This means a blow to the Uruguayan scorer who wants to leave "Barca", especially after he was informed by Dutch coach Ronald Koeman that he did not depend on him for the new season.

Suarez has been offered offers from big teams, but there is an obstacle to his dispute with Barcelona over issues related to the fact that the player wants to obtain all his rights and Barca hopes to get the money for the deal, even if it is little and symbolic.

It remains to know how Coman will deal with Suarez - who scored 198 goals with Barcelona that made him the third-best scorer in the history of the Catalan club - and whether he will include him in today's friendly match against Girona.

In the context, Ramon Blanes, the new sports director of Barça, avoided delving into the player's future and said, "Suarez was and will remain an important player. We have a lot of respect for those who gave a lot to Barca, but after what happened last season."

He concluded by saying, "We are in a comprehensive change process with ideas and a new coach. This is what we are working on, and we respect the players’ contracts. The summer mercato will expire on the 5th of next month. A lot may happen, all within the framework of the relationship of mutual respect between the club and the players. "
