Luis Suarez’s new six-year commitment to the club is soon to be confirmed, according to Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu.

The Uruguayan’s predicted contract terms suggest the former Liverpool striker will see out his playing career at the the club.

A key element to the ‘MSN’ trio, Suarez’s contract discussions have surfaced just two months after Neymar committed his own future to the Nou Camp until 2021.

Bartomeu told Uruguayan radio station: “Suarez is going to get a renewed contract very soon, it's done, just a few small details need to be sorted and we'll announce it in the next few days or weeks.

“It will be a great Christmas present, not necessarily for Luis as he already knows he's going to continue here, but for football fans.

“We want [his contract] to be even longer, but for the moment he will sign until 2022. You have to adapt to the rules, which have a maximum contract length.

“We want Luis Suarez to be at this club for many years. And when he retires he will always be welcome at Barcelona.”

Suarez has been in outstanding form since leaving Anfield in 2014 and has already won eight trophies already under the management of Luis Enrique.

His prolific record speaks for itself – with 96 goals in just 115 appearances for Barca, it is clear to see why the club wants no confusion surrounding his future.

The world’s most threatening striking trio have seemed to be inseparable, but speculation over Lionel Messi's future at the club continues. The Argentinian allegedly rejected a contract extension in the summer after worries over tax fraud legal issues.
