Barcelona initiate new contract talks with Luis Suarez

Barcelona are willing to discuss new terms with Luis Suarez.

Sport says Suarez hasn't pushed for a pay-rise, but Barca recognise the former Liverpool striker deserves an increase after a superb two years at the Nou Camp.

While it is agreed Leo Messi should be the club's highest paid, it's now accepted Suarez deserves parity with Neymar.

Barca also recognise Suarez's improved reputation makes him more attractive to European rivals.

The striker's deal runs to 2019 and Barca will seek to extend that another year with a hefty pay-hike.
