Former Inter Milan striker Diego Milito has claimed that he expects Luis Suarez to be successful at Barcelona. The Uruguay striker recently completed his £ 75 million transfer to the Spanish giants. This huge transfer fee puts enormous pressure on him ahead of new season. Despite this transfer fee, Suarez will not be the main star at the club. The presence of players like Lionel Messi and Neymar mean that he has to perform consistently well in order to be viewed as a valuable signing for the club.
After having scored 82 goals in just 133 appearances for Liverpool in the last four seasons, Suarez is expected to score goals without much trouble. The pressure of the transfer fee coupled with the presence of Messi is unlikely to worry the 27-year-old according to Milito. The 35-year-old recently returned back to Argentina after spending several seasons playing in Europe. He also has the experience of playing in Spain where he spent a couple of seasons with Real Zaragoza. Questions have been asked about Suarez adapting to Spanish football, which is vastly different from English football due to the high level of technical players.
Milito says that great players will be able to adapt to any condition and he puts Suarez in the category of a ‘great player’. The 27-year-old is currently serving a four-month suspension from all forms of
“Great players will always adapt to any club. It doesn’t matter about their style. I don’t think Suarez will have any trouble in adapting, to help them recover the titles they lost last season. If they want to go on the winning road, it’s time for them to have a classic centre-forward as an alternative to their other strikers,” said the striker about his South American compatriot.
