Barcelona have told Liverpool they will meet the release clause in striker Luis Suarez's contract.

 

The clause is understood to be between £70m and £80m, and Liverpool are not prepared to sell the 27-year-old for less.

The Reds are trying to establish if Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez will move in part-exchange.

Uruguay international Suarez is serving a four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup.

 

Barcelona are willing to include Sanchez as part of the deal, but if the Chile forward Sanchez opts to stay, Liverpool are prepared to sell Suarez in a straight deal.

Liverpool this week held "productive" talks with Barcelona over the sale of Suarez, who joined for £22.7m from Ajax in 2011 and hasfour years remaining on his contract.

Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre spent much of Wednesday in discussions with senior Barcelona officials in London.

"The talks held were productive," a senior Liverpool source told BBC Sport. "There are sensible expectations on both sides.

"Further talks and discussions will take place but no deal has yet been finalised."

Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Wednesday: "This year we are going to restructure the team in depth and we are working on that.

"We have been working on that since February, but I can't reveal things we are doing.

"We have to be discreet - we can't give clues to other teams.

 

"We do have a lot of negotiations at a very advanced stage, but the World Cup is going on. People are speculating about a lot of players at the World Cup, but there's a lot of different factors."

Asked about Suarez, he said: "He's a great player, a global star and we want him to play as well as he's playing up to now. I'm speaking as a football fan.

"He's a player who needs to rebuild himself and get back to playing football."

Suarez apologised on Monday for biting Chiellini, after which Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said: "Suarez has shown he is humble enough to admit an error, which is very important.

"Everyone knows Luis is an excellent player, everyone knows last season he played in various positions in attack, but everyone also knows he is a Liverpool player."

Bartomeu described the player's apology as "honourable" and "good for football".

"He did something wrong and it's everybody in football's responsibility, whether it's Liverpool or others, to help him to go ahead and press on with his football career. It's not easy to admit your mistakes," Bartomeu said.

Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who completed his move to Barcelona from Sevilla on Tuesday, said: "The fact he has had the character and the strength to go in front of everyone and say sorry says a lot about him as a person."

Luis Suarez is on the brink of leaving Liverpool FC after Barcelona agreed to pay his release clause of around £75million.

The structure of the deal still needs to be thrashed out but the ECHO understands the transfer could be completed as early as next week.

Negotiations between the clubs began in London on Wednesday and progress has been swift.

Reds chief executive Ian Ayre informed the Catalan giants that the Uruguayan striker wouldn't be allowed to leave for less than the release clause in the lucrative contract he penned last December.

After accepting that Liverpool wouldn't budge, Barcelona officials have now vowed to pay the asking price.

The fee of around £75million would shatter the previous highest of £50million the Reds banked when Fernando Torres was sold to Chelsea in January 2011.

Reports in Spain suggest Suarez, who cost the Reds £22.8million from Ajax three and a half years ago, has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with Barcelona.

Liverpool would have accepted Barca attacker Alexis Sanchez plus around £45million for Suarez but it looks set to be straight cash.

The Chile international is reluctant to leave the Nou Camp and is still considering his options. His representatives have spoken with both Liverpool and Arsenal among others.

FIFA has re-iterated that Suarez will not be allowed to train during his four-month ban for biting.

The 27-year-old has appealed against the suspension which runs until late October

 

If our club willingly set a £75m release clause they are a bunch of morons.

 

And anybody who thinks that is an appropriate amount is just as stupid.

[Lee909]

Not really as had we not agreed a new deal with the buy out clause Suarez would only have two years on the new deal and we would have to sell now and he would have been able to use the Webster rule to buy out his contract

A 1998 decision by the European Commission made it clear that the then existing contractual conditions surrounding footballers acted as an obstruction to freedom of movement, in relation to other industries and trades in Europe.

Article 17 of FIFA's Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players has a section on "Consequences of Terminating a Contract Without Just Cause". It states that any player who signed a contract before the age of 28 can buy himself out of the contract three years after the deal was signed. If he is 28 or older the time limit is shortened to two years.

Also in the detail is that the player must contact their existing club outlining their intentions within 15 days of the final match of the season.

In 2006 Hearts and Scotland defender Andy Webster signed for Wigan while he was still on the books with the Edinburgh club. Despite being a top player at Tynecastle he had been ostracised after falling out with the club’s owner Vladimir Romanov.

The transfer was a protracted affair; it took several months before contracts were given the go-ahead by FIFA.

Despite – or perhaps partly because of – the complications surrounding Webster’s move to Wigan he was unable to tie down a regular first team spot and in January 2007 he returned north of the border, on loan to Rangers.

Because he had served more than three years of his contract, time had expired past FIFA's "protected period", and any compensation due to Hearts would - per Article 17 - be based primarily on the amount of Webster's salary still outstanding, which was around £250,000.

In April 2007 Webster went to FIFA's transfer arbitration tribunal, the Dispute Resolution Chamber ruled that Hearts were due £625,000, based on the player's future wages, his earning potential, and the legal costs. He was also found guilty of breaking his contract and was suspended for the first two weeks of the 2007-09 season.

However, after appeal in January 2008 The Court of Arbitration in Sport reduced the compensation due payable by Webster to £150,000.

In short "the Webster ruling" was a landmark decision which pleased players, agents and footballers unions but was met with criticism and distain by clubs and governing bodies including FIFA.

 

 

 

Suarez would not have cared about screwing us to get his move.

Barca or Real would have paid the costs via a massive signing on fee

I agree mate.

[ZonkoVille77]

1. There's only 1 club looking to buy

2. As gifted as he is he's a nightmare

3. He was always looking to get away

 

I think 75mil is perfectly acceptable

[Jairzinho]

I think he's worth more, but if we do get £75m its more than I expected us to get.

[CWD82]

The only players who have gone for more were Bale and Ronaldo. They were both a few years younger than Suarez. We got him for £22.9m, got 3 and a half seasons and 82 goals out of him and now we'll make a £50m profit.

 

This deal is good from a business point of view. We need our next 5 transfers to be really good to replace him though

[Block109'er]

£75M sounds reasonable,

 

I'm unhappy that he's leaving but that price tag sounds about right.  Let's face it he wanted to go last summer and he wanted to go this summer and if he stayed (was forced to stay) as a result of his catastrophic antics at the World Cup then he would only want to leave next summer too.

 

Can't say I'm holding out much hope over this Sanchez business, it doesn't sound like that'll be happening,

 

This money really needs to be spent well, we can't afford to fuck this up like we did with the Torres money although totally different circumstances.

 

Would be nice statement of intent if we could really come out of this blasting with a couple of 'A-listers' rather than more 'promising kids with potential'.

[aladdinsane]

I would reluctantly accept 75million pounds. As cwd says above, Bale and Ronaldo were younger than him and didn't come with the baggage that Suarez does. I don't think Suarez leaving is so much the problem, it's more how we replace him. It's absolutely vital we get it right. If we do get it right, like Dortmund/Atletico etc. have done before then we might look back and think it was a great bit of business. If we don't and do a Spurs, then we could be set back years. It's a difficult one. I'd love us to sign Sanchez but just a gut feeling about him doesn't seem right. I reckon he'd be off within a few years too.

[Jairzinho]

What is the current Carroll equivalent?

 

Spending £55m on Connor Wickham?

[magicrat]

Didn't know this. I am the idiot, if that is the case.

I didn't know that either and I daresay there are lots of other factors people don't know when it comes to these transfer deals and big money contracts however it doesn't stop people calling people like Ayre cunts if they get the impression we don't seem to be getting the sort of numbers they think he should be worth . All this without any clear idea if whats even in Suarez's contract . I have little doubt there will be more than a few people shouting the odds when the details come out
