Barca’s biggest regret is letting Suarez join Atletico, not Messi’s expensive contract

Atletico Madrid-6-1-Granada-Luis Suarez debut

The Argentine’s contract details have been the talk of the town for the past few days.

Spanish club EL Mundo shockingly revealed the bumper contract of Lionel Messi at Barcelona, unbeknownst to both the player and the club.

Ever since the staggering details were leaked, People have been left in awe and some are disappointed on how the Argentine can earn as no other does.

But the 33-year-old shut down every naysayer by producing an incredible performance against Athletic Club and also showed everyone he is completely worth the €555m contract.

However, the Catalans don’t have to worry about the Argentine ace especially when he brings a lot to the club both on and off the field.

Instead in hindsight, the Blaugrana should worry about the transfer of Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid last summer as the Uruguayan’s influence to Diego Simeone’s side has been massive this season.

Los Rojiblancos are well off their rivals in the La Liga, sitting at the top.

Suarez has made his presence felt by racking up 14 goals, which is also the league’s highest ahead of Messi.

Messi had previously censured the club for letting Suarez join a direct rival Atletico and the Argentines words are making sense now.

Even Ronald Koeman had his say on Suarez’s transfer recently, wishing the Uruguayan had joined Juventus instead of Atletico.

The former Liverpool man was never in his good shape in the last two seasons at Barca – a key reason for his transfer – but since he left the Nou Camp to join Atletico, he hasn’t put a foot wrong.
