Luis Suarez moves from Liverpool to Barcelona for 75 million, making him the fourth most expensive signing in footballing history.
The agreement between Barcelona and Liverpool sees the player signing for five seasons and in all probability he will be unveiled next week after undergoing medical tests.
Suarez, who wore the No7 shirt for Liverpool and Ajax, will be handed the No9 by Barca, which was vacated on Friday by new Arsenal signing Alexis Sanchez.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said: "The club have done all they can over a sustained period of time to try to keep Luis at Liverpool.
"It is with great reluctance and following lengthy discussions we have eventually agreed to his wishes to move to Spain for new experiences and challenges.
"We wish him and his young family well; we will always consider them to be friends."
