Suarez has finally apologised for biting Chiellini during the World Cup match and vowed there would never be a repeat of the incident. "

Luis Suarez may be done at Liverpool, as the Reds are talking transfer with Barcelona and this could be a huge move for the clubs, as Suarez may get transferred for a fee along with Alexis Sanchez and this comes after his biting ban stemming from an incident at the World Cup that will keep him out of Premier League play for a while once the EPL season starts and the bid could be £80 million.

According to Sky Sports and ESPNFC.com, Suarez is being talked about by Liverpool and Barcelona, who has long had an interest in the striker from Uruguay. The transfer deal likely would include Sanchez along with 70 to 80 million for Suarez's release clause and that would send the star to Spain, where he would play alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar. Barcelona would be stacked if they can get the deal done and it comes after a similar move saw Gareth bale head to Real Madrid from the EPL last year for a record fee.

The 27 year old was the center of attention for a while at the World Cup, as he was accused and later banned and fined for biting an Italian player in their World Cup matchup. Suarez later apologized and some came out to say that the ban was excessive, although that is also was warranted, as it was the third incident for biting from Suarez.

This past season Suarez opened serving a ban stemming from a biting incident from the season before, but he quickly earned back goodwill with his play. Suarez helped Liverpool stay near the top of the Premier League table all season and he led the EPL in scoring by a wide margin, winning FA player of the year and multiple other awards. That goodwill could be gone for a long time now that Suarez has been nabbed for biting again, but clearly his skills are still wanted and now Barca could pull off the major move for the player.

Suarez has no apologized and that could help Barca move along with the deal, while Liverpool would be happy to get Sanchez back if that was part of the transfer. Barcelona is known to make big moves and this could be the biggest of the summer after rumors came out last year that Suarez wanted to move to Real Madrid from Liverpool. Suarez was banned for nine matches in international play as well as the beginning of the Premier League and Champions League seasons, but making this move could make him forget all that for a little while at least. Barcelona reportedly wanted Suarez to apologize before a move could be made and that may have sparked him to release a statement.
