Barca to unveil Suarez

Barcelona hope to formally announce the signing of Luis Suarez last night once Alexis Sanchez is confirmed as an Arsenal player.

The signing could be delayed until Friday, however, as they await further clarification over his four-month ban from FIFA.

Suarez has been suspended from all football activity for four months by FIFA after he bit defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay’s World Cup group stage match with Italy.

But with Arsene Wenger confident of concluding a £30million deal for Barcelona forward Sanchez imminently, then Suarez's £75m move to Catalonia could also be completed.

Chile star Sanchez has opted for the Gunners ahead of Liverpool and Juventus and his representatives are in London to agree personal terms and conclude the deal.

Sanchez is set to be offered a similar package to top-earner Mesut Ozil, who is paid £140,000 a week. Arsenal will meet Barcelona’s £30m valuation, allowing the Spanish side to complete a deal for Suarez. — Sportsmail
