Atl?tico Madrid have contacted Luis Su?rez's representatives. Atl?tico offer a higher salary than Juventus, and now it's up to the player to decide what's best for his future. [espn]
Highly doubt this.
Why wouldn't you play him at all if he works hard in practice and does what he is asked to do? The point is to demote him to a squad role if you can't sell him in good terms. Only if he causes trouble in the team he needs to be punished. You can't punish him if he just wants to fulfill his contract.
Order of priorities for me is:
1) Sell him for free but with no payment for years left of his contract
2) And if 1) fails, Keep him until the end of his contract while making sure he can't use any clause that extends his stay. Give him the minutes you usually give to veterans who can't physically play more than 45 mins at a good level. Bench options in games where his experience might count for something.
3) Punish him if he misbehaves or shows he doesn't understand his new role.

He has no self-esteem or is he forced to train in Barcelona?
Serghei :"punish him if he misbehave" �� you have an history of brutal posts here.
So how would You punish him if so?
I'm curious.
Because it sends a message not only to him but other players in the squad. It's better to give game time to eg fati in the Cf position or even Braithwaite than waste anymore time on such a player....
Because thats exactly what the young and new players need : some fat fuck coming off the bench to yell at every mistake they make , while he fumbles every ball touch.
Would rather not let it get to that phase.
He needs to be shipped out, to simplify things for Koeman as much as possible.
We really approached his exit the wrong way.. its typical of Barto to ignore his massive decline for 2 years and then suddenly 'you arent in our plans and we'll terminate your contract'. Although we'd all like to see it, you can't just throw players away and move them around like cattle; this is why we should of phased out 1-2 seniors per season after Rome
It's a shame the players (Messi, Suarez etc) cant just go to war with Barto AFTER he leaves office as they end up hurting the club in the long run which is something imo they don't actually want.
