Luis Suarez has released a letter to Liverpool fans thanking them for their support and explaining his reasoning for joining the Catalan club.

Both clubs had announced on Friday that they agreed a deal for the forward and ÂŁ70m was the fee subject to a medical and the signing of a five year contract.

Suarez was keen to explain the reasons for his move insisting that he enjoyed his time at Merseyside and that living in Spain with his wife’s family “is a lifelong dream and ambition”.


The letter wrote: “It is with a heavy heart that I leave Liverpool for a new life and new challenges in Spain.

Both me and my family have fallen in love with this club and with the city.

But most of all I have fallen in love with the incredible fans. You have always supported me and we, as a family, will never forget it, we will always be Liverpool supporters.

I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision. This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife’s family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.

I wish Brendan Rodgers and the team well for the future. The club is in great hands and I’m sure will be successful again next season.

I am very proud I have played my part in helping to return Liverpool to the elite of the Premier League and in particular back into the Champions League.

Thank you again for some great moments and memories. You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

He was a contraversial figure in the premier League but he was a prolific goalscorer and Liverpool fans have thanked him for his services.
