KEY POINTS

  • Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal were told to train separately from Barcelona players, a report said
  • Suarez is expected to move to Juventus soon
  • Vidal is set to join Inter Milan

Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal are set to leave Camp Nou soon and will have to train alone for now. Both players are set to join different clubs, something that could be made official in the coming days.

Suarez has come to terms with Juventus, but the deal is yet to be sealed. The same holds true for Vidal, who is believed to be headed to Inter Milan. Both were among the players being cut from the team as Ronald Koeman started restructuring the squad.

In the case of Suarez, the 33-year-old Uruguayan striker has agreed personal terms with the Serie A champ. Both camps sealed the deal in their second meeting, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

As for Vidal, the 33-year-old midfielder was also informed by Koeman that he would not be part of Barca's plans. It did not take long for some club to pick him up, with Sport reporting that the Chilean player is set to be taken in by Inter.

With both Suarez and Vidal securing their future, the only thing left is the final word. They remain with Barcelona, but according to ESPN, both players have been told to train alone, separated from the rest of the squad.

One player who had a surprise change of heart is Lionel Messi. The football world went ballistic in the past week when the Argentine announced he wanted out of Camp Nou.

Ten days later, Messi announced his surprise U-turn, which was confirmed by the club via Twitter. He withdrew his letter stating his intent to leave and opted to stay with the club he has called home for his entire professional career, The New York Times reported.

“I love Barcelona and I'm not going to find a better place than here anywhere. Still, I have the right to decide. I was going to look for new goals and new challenges. And tomorrow I could go back, because here in Barcelona I have everything," Messi said via Goal.

Unfortunately, this covered only Messi. There were suggestions that Suarez could have made a U-turn, but that is not happening.
