Nou player: Liverpool and Barcelona have agreed a deal in principle to take Suarez to Spain
Luis Suarez is joining Barcelona after the Spanish giants agreed in principle to pay Liverpool a record fee for the striker.
No precise sum was agreed when the clubs met in London for talks on Wednesday, but Barcelona have accepted they will have to stump up more than their opening £60million bid to sign Suarez.
Both sides agreed to include Alexis Sanchez in the deal, who is valued at £32million by Barcelona - but the Chile World Cup forward has yet to be consulted.
Sanchez is understood to favour a move to Arsenal, but his assent is not critical to Suarez’s transfer because the Nou Camp giants have agreed to a straight cash deal if the 25-year-old rejects Liverpool.
The Kop club's chief executive Ian Ayre met Barcelona’s transfer broker Raul Sanllehi for what have been described as positive negotiations.
A source close to Liverpool said: “The talks were productive. There were sensible expectations on both sides. Further talks and discussions are to take place, but nothing has been finalised as of now.”
The next round of talks are expected to take place within days, and Suarez could be a Barcelona player as early as next week.
Barca are desperate to land the Uruguayan and the club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu has joined their charm offensive, praising him for apologising for his World Cup bite shame.
“Apologising has been to his credit because when you make a mistake you should apologise,” he said.
“It is good what he has done, because it helps football.
"It is the responsibility of all of us that Luis Suarez, at Liverpool or wherever he wants to be, continues his career. To admit errors is an important step.”

He is the face of terror. A ruthless leader with a twisted ideology. And the sadistic architect of a campaign of mayhem and misery. And yet, very little is known about Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram. He operates in the shadows, leaving his underlings to orchestrate his repulsive mandates. He resurfaces every once in a while in videotaped messages to mock the impotence of the Nigerian military. And he uses his faith to recruit the impressionable and the disenfranchised to his cause. He is a religious scholar Shekau was born in Shekau village that borders Niger. He studied under a cleric and then attended Borno State College of Legal and Islamic Studies for higher studies on Islam. That’s why he’s also known as ‘Darul Tawheed,’ which translates to an expert in monotheism, or the oneness of Allah. Place of birth: Yobe State
