LUIS SUAREZ is set to sign a one-year contract extension at Barcelona, which will see him earn an extra £100,000-a-week and match Neymar’s wages, according to reports in Catalonia.

Since leaving Liverpool for the Nou Camp in 2014, the Uruguayan has gone from strength-to-strength and was the joint European Golden Shoe winner last season.

And reveal Barca are ready to reward him with a bumper pay rise.

Suarez’s current deal runs out in 2019 and earns him around £170,000-a-week.

However, a new contract until 2020 will see his pay packet increase to a whopping £272,000 every seven days — which is the same as strike partner, Neymar.

Suarez and Neymar are still way ahead of club legends, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets — bringing home DOUBLE their wages.
