The last day of La Liga Santander, in addition to deciding the last destinations at stake, such as the last place in relegation or the club that would go to the Conference League, left several farewells. Some of the most important footballers in recent years in the Spanish championship said goodbye to their teams, such as Real Madrid's Marcelo, Bale or Isco, or Atlético's Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan, fundamental in the last rojiblanca league conquest, passed through the microphones of El Larguero, from Cadena Ser, last night to explain how his departure was conceived.
The striker left some surprising statements, when he recounted how he found out that the Madrid club no longer had him: «Rafa Alique (director of communication) told me that they were going to fire me and I did not know that I was not going to continue.
And I said 'well, someone from the club told me something'...». «I did not speak anything with Cholo or with Berta or with Miguel Ángel. They could have warned me earlier », he added.
Suárez has not yet taken the next step, which is to choose a new destination. «Now I am in Madrid waiting for the children to finish school and then I will make the best decision to compete and have a high level, which is the requirement of the World Cup».
Given the insistence on his future, the Uruguayan was blunt: "I swear I haven't decided yet, there are many options, many proposals and my brother-in-law told me that they are going to drive me crazy, that they write to me a lot, I make the decision alone and when I see that something is convincing me for myself, for the competition and for the family, I will make the decision».
"China, Qatar, Arabia... it's not in my head yet. You laugh because there are people who tell you 'it would be an offer...' but I don't think about the money, Europe is what most appeals to you. They call you from South America, from Brazil, from Mexico, Argentina... Honestly, my mentality is for the competitive level here, my head is here », she pointed out.
Suárez confessed that he also had offers to continue in the Spanish League: «One left a very large legacy in the teams he left in Spain, but I have received some proposals from teams here and I am analyzing them. I am not demanding to play, I want to analyze the project of competing.
The already ex-rojiblanco referred to the news of the week, the renewal of Kylian Mbappé with Paris Saint-Germain when his signing seemed done with Real Madrid: «I was surprised, there are moments and situations that you understand, they are accepted and one is free to decide, he had the upper hand and had the possibility to choose, he chose his city, where he lives, where they present him with a winning project».
Suárez revealed that Messi did not know: «I swear that until the day Leo announced it he had not told me anything, because he did not know. I told him 'tell me idiot' and he told me that he didn't know anything ».
Of course, if he put himself in Mbappé's shoes, his decision would probably have been different: «I earned more at Liverpool than I went to win at Barcelona and I preferred the Barcelona project and the mission of winning the Champions League and I was not wrong . If he now wins the Champions League next year, we will say how well he chose."
