Suarez, 31, will be one of the faces of Puma along with Sergio Aguero, Antoine Griezmann and fellow new recruit Romelu Lukaku.

They also have Olivier Giroud, who has increased in marketing value since becoming a World Cup winner with France.

Suarez’s deal will land him close to £20,000-a-week after more than a decade with adidas.

He was wearing blacked-out boots earlier in the month which hinted at his departure.
