Agree we should but that's assuming you've got a sensible balance in terms of a squad age. We already had too many players in their late 20s and early 30s and Suarez along with Rakitic and Arda (and now Paulinho) increased that. We've been forced to address this with the likes of Umtiti, MATS, Dembele, Semedo and Gomes. And the ultimate signing of the present and the future Neymar left.
The Suarez signing was worth it for the treble but it's unfortunate he hasn't lived up to the billing since and now at 30 it's proved a very short term signing with no re sale value. If we had a Mbappe then that could be the striker position sewn up for a decade and at the least huge re sale (i.e. Neymar).
Suarez had another great season after the treble and although some poor matches was still scoring and assisting last season.
To say he had one good season and hasnt produced since is not true at all.
He most likely does have resale value anyway. You think not one team would be willing to pay money to take him?
If Real couldnt get Mbappe there is little chance he was ever moving to Barca and for all we know they may have tried to get him.
