Lost in the wave of Lionel Messi announcing he will leave Barcelona is the saga as to where the Uruguayan striker will end up given his contract situation at the club. In the last few days Suárez may have up to 4 possible suitors looking for his services, they include the unlikely destinations of Ajax, Leicester, and MLS, but a fourth possibility is a move to Juventus and a potential pairing with none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to As.com, Goal.com, and Ovacion in Uruguay, the Juventus board have been very optimistic about bringing the Uruguayan striker into the fold, since they will be opening up a spot with the pending departure of Gonzalo Higuaín. Rivals in Spain, butproven goal scorers and winners by nature, a Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez tandem could potentially be one of the most effective in European soccer.
