Striker Luis Suarez has released a statement
thanking the Liverpool fans and explaining his
decision to leave the club following his £70
million move to Barcelona FC.
Both clubs announced on Friday that they had
reached an agreement over the transfer of
Suarez, subject to a medical and the signing of
a five-year contract.
Suarez explains that living with his wife's
family in Spain "is a lifelong dream and
ambition":
"It is with a heavy heart that I leave
Liverpool for a new life and new
challenges in Spain, Both me and my
family have fallen in love with this club
and with the city.
"But most of all I have fallen in love with
the incredible fans. You have always
supported me and we, as a family, will
never forget it, we will always be
Liverpool supporters.
"I hope you can all understand why I
have made this decision. This club did all
they could to get me to stay, but playing
and living in Spain, where my wife's
family live, is a lifelong dream and
ambition. I believe now the timing is
right.
"I wish Brendan Rodgers and the team
well for the future. The club is in great
hands and I'm sure will be successful
again next season.
"I am very proud I have played my part
in helping to return Liverpool to the elite
of the Premier League and in particular
back into the Champions League.
"Thank you again for some great
moments and memories. You'll Never
Walk Alone."
