Luis Suarez has a huge new deal to Barcelona after his transfer from Liverpool this summer, but the Uruguayan star cannot be introduced at Camp Nou or at any other official event until his ban end according to FIFA and that will keep the star away from Barca for the time being, while Juan Cuadrado is also a target for the team.

According to Pro Soccer Talk, the four month ban for Suarez extends to any football-related events or activities and that means anything related to Barcelona as well. FIFA's head of media Delia Fischer said in a news conference that he is not allowed to be with the team for any events or ceremonies and that is why they will not be introducing him at Camp Nou in front of fans.

Suarez is moving to Barcelona on a near $130 million deal from Liverpool and the move should be completed officially this coming week. Suarez will not get the treatment that Neymar got, which was an introduction in front of a full stadium, but either way, he is thrilled with the move. Suarez has made his amends and now he will have to deal with other issues, including a likely cause in his contract about any future bites.

Last season Suarez was the best player in the Premier League and led the EPL in scoring for Liverpool while winning a slew of awards.
