Uruguay international Luis Suarez has officially completed his transfer to Barcelona from Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Although the striker arrived in the Catalan city on Tuesday to finalise the deal, he had to be ‘unveiled’ by Barca under the terms of his current ban.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old is serving a four-month FIFA suspension from all football-related activity after biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder during a World Cup match.<\/p>\n
As a result, Suarez could not be formally unveiled at the Nou Camp on Wednesday morning, but new Barca coach Luis Enrique and director of football Andoni Zubizarreta were available to answer questions.<\/p>\n
Suarez will be ineligible to play for Barcelona or even to train with his team-mates until late October following his transfer for a reported \u00a375m.<\/p>\n
And Zubizarreta would not confirm rumours that the club are planning to appeal his ban with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.<\/p>\n
“Luis Suarez is a Barcelona player for all purposes but the recommendation from our lawyers has been to remain discreet,\u201d Zubizarreta said.<\/p>\n
