Luis Suarez will be Atletico Madrid’s second major signing of the season as they have also made Yannick Carrasco’s loan move permanent. The former Barcelona striker has joined the club with a contract until 2022 and will play a crucial role for Diego Simeone throughout the season. Diego Costa is the other major forward at the Argentine manager’s disposal as Alvaro Morata has moved on to Juventus.
