Barcelona striker Uruguayan international football Luis Suarez has confirmed that his former teammate, French international Brazilian St Germain star Neymar da Silva, "will always be welcome" in the Catalan team.
Suarez, who is recovering from a cartilage surgery on the right knee, said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" Everyone knows the love that everyone has in his dressing room, he is an indisputable player, and he still has a lot to show, he will always be welcome In the team, we appreciate him very much. "
Suarez, responding to a question about rumors that the Brazilian star might return to Barcelona, said, "It is difficult to talk about the players today, it is difficult to talk about who might be in this situation (the spread of the" Covid-19 virus "). But I can comment on the players, they are players Senior".
Suarez also talked about the possibility of the Catalan team contracting Italian international Inter Milan star Argentine Laotaro Martinez, 22, and said, "Laotaro is a player who shines in Italy, he is the heart of a mobile attack, and one of the strikers is very amazing, and that reflects his importance as a major striker, there is no conflict , He must be happy that a club like Barcelona wants him. "
The Uruguayan top scorer added, "There will always be healthy competition between us, and as long as we all have the same goal, i.e. winning everything, the players who come to help the team achieve its goals and strengthen our ranks will always be welcome to them."
Suarez returned to talk about the dispute between the players and the Barcelona administration in the last period regarding the agreement to reduce salaries by 70 percent until the tournament resumes, which would save the club 14 million euros a month.
The team players, led by Argentine star Lionel Messi, defended themselves, after a mistake in poor communication, as the flea criticized its time in a lengthy message posted on his official account on the Instagram application, the board of directors headed by Josep Maria Bartomeo, who accused him of undermining the players during the recent negotiations.
While Suarez saw that what had happened "was troublesome for all players. There were wrong things said: It was said that the players did not want their salaries to be cut as much, that some did not agree, and that they said that, and they are not within the group, that disturbs. It bothers the players. "
"Certainly, all players agreed from the start to help the club to the fullest extent, and the agreement was delayed because it is not easy to get the salary of 22-23 players. It was a joint work between the club and the players' lawyer, but it is not an easy job."
