Barcelona offload midfielder Suarez to his boyhood club
BARCELONA MIDFIELDER DENIS Suarez has agreed to move back to his boyhood club Celta Vigo on a four-year deal, the Spanish champions said.

He left the English club for Barcelona in 2013. After a season with Barcelona’s reserve team and another year on loan at Sevilla, the former Spain U21 international joined Villarreal on a permanent deal.
He returned to Barcelona in 2016, this time to the Catalan club’s first team but failed to find a regular spot on the starting lineup.
Suarez went on loan to Arsenal in January but his second spell in England ended prematurely due to injury.
