Negotiations for Luis Suarez's contract extension at Barcelona are 'on track' and the striker is hopeful that the two parties can agree on a deal in the near future. The Uruguayan attacker has been in good form this season having netted 10 goals in 15 appearances in all competitions this season. Indeed, Suarez has since revealed that he is 'very happy' at the Catalan club and insists that a 'good ending' is not too far off with negotiations 'on track' as 'the two parties seek an agreement'. Meanwhile, ahead of their fixture against Ecuador, the Uruguayan international is aware of the Celeste's incredible home record and hopes a win will leave them in good stead for World Cup qualification. "We are aware that we are strong at home, that is our goal, that is what we want and that is what can bring us to the World Cup," he told reporters. Uruguay will take on Ecuador in Montevideo on Thursday. Barcelona continues to work to renew its most important players and having already secured the continuity of Neymar, Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets, the club is focused on reviewing the contractual conditions of other players such as Ivan Rakitic, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan striker is very close to being the next to sign an improved deal with talks between Barcelona and Suarez's representative, Pere Guardiola, very advanced. As reported by Mundo Deportivo and confirmed by MARCA, the agreement could be announced in the next few days. Everything indicates that the current Pichichi will sign until 2021, although an extension until June 30, 2022, when Suarez will be 35 years old, can't be ruled out. He has always said publicly and privately that he wants to stay in Barcelona for many years and that he is pursuing a long contract. Although he will be behind Lionel Messi and Neymar in salary terms, he will still earn an estimated annual 25 million euros gross.
