Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez admits he urged Barcelona to sign Darwin Nunez when he was with Almeria.

The Uruguay striker is now a star with Benfica and being linked with Barca.

Suarez spoke on Twitch with journalist Gerard Romero, revealing: “When he was at Almeria, I said it at Barca.

"They asked me and I said 'look after this guy, he's very interesting', but they said no, he's at Almeria, he's very young. But instead of paying now 80, 90, or 100 million, they would have paid 15 or 20."

Suarez joked that Nunez would not have come as a starter, but “a sub for Luis Suarez".
