Luis
Suarez has written a letter to Liverpool, thanking the 'wonderful fans'
for their support and claiming that his 'affection towards the club will
be for ever'.
The Uruguay striker was official unveiled as a Barcelona player on Friday after completing a £75million to the Spanish giants.
The
27-year-old has followed up comments that he leaves Anfield with 'a
heavy heart', by posting an open letter on his official website and
Twitter account.
In
the letter, signed from his whole family, Suarez recognises the support
he has received from Anfield fans during the 'good moments and other,
more difficult ones'.
Reds
supporters have largely stood by the troubled forward, despite lengthy
bans for making racist comments towards Manchester United defender
Patrice Evra and biting Branislav Ivanovic of Chelsea - before his
latest World Cup shame.
Suarez
was handed a nine-game international suspension and banned from all
football for four months after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during
the tournament in Brazil.
In
his final farewell, the disgraced striker also commented that he was
proud that his four-year-old daughter was raised in Liverpool and that
his son was born in the city.
Suarez also says it was an honour to play for the club and 'score goals at a stadium as unique and special as Anfield'.
As
well as the fans, Suarez also expressed his gratitude to both managers -
Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers' who have shown faith in him, and
his teammates and staff at Mellwood.
Suarez
ended his message by saying he will always have a lifelong affection
for the club and leaves behind 'lots of friends and special people',
signing off with 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
