worth just over £70 million were agreed on Wednesday night, Goal understands.
The agreement comes after a week of negotiations between the clubs, with an announcement expected in the coming days - perhaps even within 24 hours.
Barcelona have captured Suarez in
a straight cash deal after agreeing
to meet the release clause in the
Liverpool contract he signed last
December.
It is believed that Suarez will
undergo initial medical examinations
from Barca doctors in his native Uruguay, where he has been staying
following his country's elimination
from the World Cup.
Officials from the Catalan club have been negotiating with their
counterparts from Merseyside in
the last week over the structure of
payments in the deal, with Liverpool pushing for a higher initial sum.
An agreement has now been reached and the final formalities will be completed before Suarez is announced as Barcelona's marquee
signing of the summer.
Barca will partly fund the signing of the 27-year-old by selling Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal.
As revealed by Goal, the Chile World Cup star will move to Emirates Stadium after Arsenal
agreed a package worth €40m (£31.8m) with the Spanish club .
Liverpool will now look to strengthen their squad using some of the money from the Suarez deal.
The Merseysiders are on the verge of completing a triple swoop for Benfica winger Lazar Markovic, Lille striker Divock Origi and Southampton defender Dejan Lovren.
