Barcelona have agreed a fee to buy banned striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool, the Premier League side have announced.
Suarez, whose four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup was upheld by Fifa yesterday, is rumoured to have cost the Catalan club about £75m.
A statement on the Liverpool website reads: "Liverpool FC confirms that Luis Suarez will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was reached with FC Barcelona. The player now has permission to complete the usual formalities, which will then conclude the transfer.
"We would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield.
"Everyone at Liverpool Football Club wishes Luis and his family well for the future."
Suarez said he was leaving Liverpool with a "heavy heart".
"Both me and my family have fallen in love with this club and with the city," he said.
"But most of all I have fallen in love with the incredible fans. You have always supported me and we, as a family, will never forget it, we will always be Liverpool supporters.
"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision. This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right."
