Suarez ‘feels special’ after new Barca deal

Luis Suarez on Friday said he was
delighted after signing his lucrative
contract extension at Barcelona through to
June 2021.
“I am very happy. It’s what I wanted and
the club too and so I feel huge
satisfaction,” Suarez told Barca TV, saying
the deal showed the “recognition of the
club” to his contribution since signing from
Liverpool in 2014.
“Every game with Barcelona is special,”
added the 29-year-old.
The Uruguay international striker’s new
deal features a 200 million-euro (£167
million, $208 million) release clause.
Suarez has scored 97 goals in just 116
appearances since arriving from Anfield.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu
was among several of the club’s top brass
as Suarez put pen to paper.
The Catalan club were keen to tie down
their centre forward who forms part of an
explosive attacking triumvirate with Lionel
Messi and Neymar.
The club have already persuaded Neymar
to sign a new deal also through to 2011
and are working on an extension for Messi.
