Metro reports with reference to the local Catalan TV station TV3 that the offer which was made by the Spanish club Friday morning, has been accepted following the further negotiations.

Sketchy information had been provided earlier regarding the sum of the deal. Some sources claimed that Barca’s offer was £80million.

Meanwhile Metro states that Liverpool rejected Barca’s opening £55.7million bid made this week, demanding a bigger amount.

The Reds used to say they would not sell the footballer for less than £75million, but the sum apparently decreased as Suarez made it clear he did not wish to stay at Anfield any longer.

However now, as the deal has been finally agreed on, Suarez is expected to travel to Spain for a medical, with a five-year contract being offered.

It would be recalled that the Uruguayan player was banned by FIFA for 4 months and nine games over biting his Italian counterpart, Roberto Chiellini, during the 2014 World Cup game. This "biting story" has become one of the most scandalous moments of the ongoing Mundial.
