Luis Suarez is set to leave Atletico Madrid this summer and he has chosen his next destination with ‘revenge’ on his mind.

The Uruguayan striker joined Los Rojiblancos from Barcelona last season and his goals helped fire Diego Simeone’s side to the league title.

Suarez netted 21 goals in La Liga as Atleti claimed their first league title in seven years, but this year both the striker and the team have struggled to replicate such form.

He has found the net just 10 times across 31 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League, while he is no longer a guaranteed starter for the side.

There has been speculation regarding Suarez’s next move but such is the nature of his relationship with Atleti, it is said he is motivated to prove them wrong.

The return of Antoine Griezmann to the Spanish capital this summer has ensured that Simeone has had to rejig his attack, with Joao Felix also pushing for a regular starting slot.

The Uruguayan is a predatory penalty-box goal scorer and without goals, his place in the side will come under increasing scrutiny.

Suarez’s frustrations were made clear with a recent foul-mouthed rant at Simeone after being substituted off in the league defeat at Sevilla earlier this season.

Whenever Barca informed Suarez that they no longer wanted to retain his services, the striker was motivated to prove them wrong.
