Luis Javier Suárez takes an important step in his career. The 27 -year -old Colombian striker was signed by Sporting in Lisbon after an outstanding season in the Spanish Second Division with Almería, where he consolidated himself as one of the most productive attackers in the tournament.
The Portuguese club paid 20 million euros for its transfer, in an operation that included variables negotiated with the Andalusian team and 10 % of the rights over a future sale. Suarez will sign until 2030 and will have a termination clause of 80 million euros. It is planned to leave the concentration of Almeria in Marbella to travel to Lisbon, where medical exams will be submitted and will complete the procedures for its incorporation.
His arrival at Sporting is given at a key moment for the club, which seeks to cover the vacancy left by the Swedish Viktor Gyökeres, signed by Arsenal. Despite the interest of other teams – like the English Sunderland – it was Sporting that most insisted and managed to assure the Colombian.
The interest was not free. Suarez closed last season with 31 goals and eight assists in 43 games, with a direct participation in goal every 98 minutes. In addition, he averaged 5.7 auctions per goal, 1.4 key passes and 1.2 dribbles completed per game. These numbers, together with their return to the Colombian National Team on the last double qualifiers date, make it an increasingly relevant piece in the international panorama.
His signing adds to a series of recent movements that shook in the selection. Richard Ríos traveled from Brazil to Europe and signed Benfica, Jhon Arias did the same, but his destiny was England with Wolverhampton. Jorge Carrascal returned from Russia to join Flamengo in Brazil and Juan Fernando Quintero, on his return to River Plate, mark an active moment for Colombian players in the market. All these changes can translate into a more competitive basis for the national team for the next challenges.
With his arrival in Portuguese football, Luis Suarez now has the opportunity to consolidate in a club with continental aspirations, gain high level filming and continue adding merits to stay in the orbit of Nestor Lorenzo.
