Luis Suarez is reportedly furious with the Barcelona new manager Ronald Koeman over his brutal sixty-second phone call to end his career at the Catalan club.

Koeman replaced sacked manager Quique Setién and he has been mandated by the club owners to ensure the club’s wage bill is reduced - and some players will need to leave.

Despite Suarez scoring at least 20 goals for the club in each of his six seasons since his arrival, the former Liverpool striker will have his contract terminated at Barcelona.

The Catalan giants were humiliated out of the Champions League after they were embarrassed 8-2 in the semi-final by eventual champions Bayern Munich.

He said, as cited in The Sun: "There is talk of some names that the president gave, of changes that can be made, but nobody told me that they want to do without me.
