RED HOT! Barcelona confident Luis Suarez will be theirs by Monday

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is expected to be a Barcelona player by Monday. The Daily Mail says Barcelona expect to finalise a deal for Suarez over the next 48 hours.

Talks are ongoing and the Spanish club is concentrating on a straight cash deal for the 27-year-old who Liverpool value at £80million.

Suarez would be allowed to have a medical ahead of a transfer under the terms of his four-month ban for biting, FIFA's disciplinary chief has confirmed.

Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre met with Barcelona power brokers Raúl Sanllehí, Toni Rossich and Jordi Mestre in London on Wednesday and talks continued into yesterday with both parties pleased over developments.
