(CNN Spanish) -
After several days of negotiations, FC Barcelona confirmed this Wednesday that Luis Suárez will be transferred to Atlético de Madrid.
The Catalan club issued a statement stating that "Atleti" will pay him almost US $ 7 million (6 million euros) in variables for the record of the Uruguayan striker.
"FC Barcelona publicly expresses its gratitude to Luis Suárez for his commitment and dedication and wishes him good luck and success in the future," said Barça from its official website.
The 33-year-old attacker will go through the big door.
The Blaugrana institution confirmed that it will organize a farewell act and a press conference this Thursday to bid the player farewell.
It couldn't be otherwise, taking into account that Suárez became Barça's third top scorer over the past six years at the club.
Since his arrival in 2014, the Uruguayan has scored 198 goals, provided 97 assists and played 283 games.
In that time he also won 13 titles and became one of the most effective partners of Barça's top idol, Lionel Messi.
In his record with the Barça team, Suárez won a Champions League, four Spanish leagues, four King's Cups, a Club World Cup, a European Super Cup and two Spanish Super Cups.
