Luis Suarez has opened up on his emotional exit from Atletico Madrid, insisting he was not informed about his departure until the day before his final game.
The Uruguayan striker was left sobbing on the bench after being substituted off in his final home match as an Atleti player and will now leave the club as a free agent this summer.
And in an interview with El Larguero, Suarez admitted he would have liked to stay at the Wanda Metropolitano but was shown the exit door.
He said: 'Rafa Alique (Atletico director of communications) told me the day before my farewell, that they were going to give me a farewell. I did not know anything. I am 35 years old and I was also thinking about my future.
'We had a meeting with the club in December, we agreed to talk in February, and Alique told me that they were going to give me a farewell and I said, 'well, at least someone from the club tells me something'. He too was supposedly surprised.'
When asked if he had a conversation with 'Cholo' (boss Simeone), Suarez simply added: 'No'. And when the 35-year-old, 132-cap international was asked what his next club would be, he insisted his future is uncertain.
'I swear I don't (know). Trust me, I've not decided where I'm gonna play next season. I've received are many options, many proposals... I am lucky to make the decision, I listen to everyone, but when the time comes we will make the decision.
'Clubs from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico approached me but I want to play at top competitive level again. I'm focused on European football.
'I have my head in Europe. Spain? Obviously I left a great legacy here, I'm very proud of the career I've had here. I have received some... proposals from here, but I am still analysing them. I want to see the project of being able to compete at a high level.'
