Barcelona to smash transfer record to sign Luis Suarez

Barcelona have reportedly tabled a £75 million bid that matches Luis Suarez's minimum fee release clause. It is being reported that Barcelona representatives have already met with the Uruguayan forward this week.

Suarez, who is no stranger to controversy, has apparently been told that he is free to leave Liverpool and his current club are ready to let him move to Barca when they match his release fee.

According to reports from Spain, there is already a gentleman's agreement in place between the player at the Camp Nou side.

Should Barcelona recruit Suarez, the likes of Alexis Sanchez are expected to be allowed to leave. Liverpool are rumoured to have been looking into a potential move for the talented Chilean forward as a replacement for Suarez.
