Lionel Messi's decision to warn Barcelona that he does not intend to continue with the Catalan team caused a stir in the world of football. From a player a reaction was expected according to the unprecedented situation. And it just arrived. Because Luis Suárez applauded the step taken by the Argentine .

Close friends, both who share vacations with their families, the Uruguayan forward did not wait too long to appreciate Leo's decision . When Carles Puyol , Barsa icon, wrote on Twitter: "Respect and admiration, Leo. All my support, friend," Suárez retweeted with the icons of two applause.

The document letter was sent by Messi to Barcelona one day after the Argentine star suffered a hard blow to his future in the team, if he wanted to continue: the new coach, Ronald Koeman, had told Suárez that he did not have it. in their plans .

👏👏

Barsa had been negotiating for a center forward for some time, in search of fresh air to be the goal card. Antoine Griezmann could not fit in as he had at Atlético de Madrid and Suárez was in the crosshairs.

Lautaro Martínez was the man and the name pointed out months ago by the Catalan leadership, by his Juventus (23 years old), his present and especially his future and the OK of Messi, a teammate in the National Team.

But, of course, now Messi's present after this decision does not allow us to foresee that Lautaro's will be activated again. Barcelona will have to think very well what it will do.

As for Suárez, Ajax from the Netherlands, where he already knew how to play and sowed friendship and good ties with the club and with the fans, was interested in having his services again. But everything can be for the Uruguayan.
