Liverpool star Luis Suarez has shocked the masses by claiming he dreams of playing for Barcelona. The Uruguayan star arrived at Anfield in the January transfer window last season – amidst the departure of Fernando Torres – and seemingly became a fan favourite overnight.
‘El Pistolero’ earned a move to the Premier League after stellar performances for Ajax and Uruguay, most notably in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The forward had an amazing goal-scoring record in the Dutch Eredivisie, scoring 111 goals in 159 games for AFC Ajax.
Apparently, the Uruguayan talisman has strong ties to Barcelona; his agent is brother of Catalan manager Pep Guardiola.
“Before meeting Pere Guardiola, my current agent, I had this desire, this dream of a chance to play for that team [Barcelona],” Suarez is quoted as saying in Spanish sports weekly Don Balon.
“Obviously he [Pere] is a person related to Barcelona by his brother, but work situations are totally different relationships. If Guardiola wanted me, he would want me no matter who represents me.”
