Luis Suarez Comments on Lionel Messi's Contract, Gerard Pique, Barcelona, More

Luis Suarez has urged the Barcelona hierarchy to end Lionel Messi's contract saga, rejecting chief executive Oscar Grau's talk of "common sense" in negotiations, as per Angels Fabregues of Sport.

The Uruguayan spoke about his team-mate's contract situation after scoring his 100th Barcelona goal in the 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey quarter-final on Wednesday.

"What you have to do with Messi is renew his contract, not have common sense," he said.

The comment refers to Grau's assertion that Barcelona must be cautious when negotiating the terms of a new deal in order to comply with La Liga's expenditure caps.
