Uruguay international Luis Suarez was reduced to tears after while leaving Barcelona training ground on Wednesday, September 23.

The 33-year-old is on the verge of joining rival club Atletico Madrid after Ronald Koeman told him he was no longer needed at the Camp Nou.

Reports claim the former Liverpool forward agreed to cut down his wages before joining Diego Simeone's side after a move to Juventus collapsed this window.

Sport Bible reveals that the attacker is Barcelona's third all-time highest goals scorer with 198 goals and 109 assists in 283 appearances across competitions.

He also won several titles with the Catalans after joining them from Liverpool in a deal around £64.98 million six years ago - with four La Liga and one Champions League among others.

The publication reports that the attacker whose reign at the Camp Nou originally expires in the summer of 2021 was spotted wiping away tears as he left the club's training facility.

Despite spending most part of last season on the sidelines due to injury, the 33-yea-old still scored 16 goals in 28 La Liga games.

He was however angered after Koeman told him he had no future with him in a phone conversation that lasted just 60 seconds as reported by Spanish publication SPORT.

The Dutchman told the former Ajax star that he is surplus to requirements after which he was informed to find a new club.

Juventus came calling for a few weeks but the deal collapsed as Atletico look set to secure the huge signing on a two-year deal.
