Ah, it's been a while since Luis Suarez caused any controversy, hasn't it?

Well, we've got some news that's going to rightly annoy a lot of Liverpool fans. At the time Liverpool lost their Uruguayan former-talisman to the Catalan giants, it was widely reported that he was sold for £75 million - which matched the players buy-out clause as stated by Liverpool's owners FSG and managing director Ian Ayre. A leaked document today suggests, however, that he ended up going for £10 million fewer than his buy-out clause. https://twitter.com/sportingintel/status/714385926408028161 The document also breaks down the instalments and shows that Liverpool are still owed almost £13 million by Barcelona - to be paid on July 31 of this year. Salt in the wounds for all the Kopites out there.
