I Have to Think About Barcelona's Future - Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez discusses his and Lionel Messi's futures, Antoine Griezmann's assimilation at Barcelona, and Neymar's happiness in an exclusive interview with beIN SPORTS.
Luis Suarez revealed he is happy for Barcelona to find his long-term successor.
"As a fan of the club, I have to think about the future," the Uruguayan striker told beIN SPORTS in an exclusive interview.
"Maybe the best thing is if [the club] sign a young or an established player to carry the torch as Barcelona’s number 9."
The 32-year-old has scored 187 goals and assisted a further 99 in 263 games with the LaLiga club, but is open to the idea of a new arrival to increase competition for his starting place.
Suarez also addressed Lionel Messi's remarks about retirement following his sixth Ballon d'Or win: "They were misinterpreted...He wanted to say, given his age, he might have to contend with retiring in a couple of years."
But he is confident his close friend and teammate has no plans of hanging up his boots anytime soon: "I’m sure Leo Messi will continue for a long while yet."
El Pistolero then discussed Antoine Griezmann's assimilation to the squad, saying the Frenchman "feels very comfortable and at ease [at Barcelona]."
As for the possibility of Neymar returning to Camp Nou, Suarez said he "would love to see him playing soccer where he feels happy."
