Ronald Koeman, the Barcelona coach, told Uruguayan Luis Suárez that he will not take it into account for the future . It is a strong blow for Lionel Messi, a close friend of the striker and a crony on the court and off it.

The Dutch coach informed Suárez of his decision, so that he agrees to negotiate the settlement of his contract and look for a new team. The Spanish League will start on September 12 and this makes the Barsa crisis more complicated.

In this meeting, which RC1 advanced, Koeman would have exposed the need to thoroughly remodel a team and adapt a new scheme in which Luis Suárez would not fit. The Dutchman believes that the Uruguayan has finished his cycle at Barça and that the best thing for both parties is to separate their paths.

The Catalan newspaper Sport confirmed that the club has also proposed a specific option to facilitate the departure of Suárez from Barça. In this sense, the club would pay him a percentage of next season's tab and grant him absolute freedom to negotiate his future with the club he wanted.

Goodbye hugs. Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, buddies at Barsa.

Now that the news is confirmed that Suárez is not in Koeman's crosshairs and that Barcelona will have to negotiate him, the rumors will continue to grow. It is that Ajax from Holland was interested in the return of the Uruguayan to their ranks and there is even talk of Inter.

Is that the former owner of the Milan club, Massimo Moratti, said this weekend that Inter faces the final offensive for Messi, if the Argentine wants to leave Barsa, and in any case the alternative would be a barter for Lautaro Martínez , with a major player as part of payment. There was talk of Semedo, Junior and Jordi Alba, but Suárez could join the conversation.

The barter between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o in the past can serve as a precedent.
