Juventus have ended their pursuit of Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, sporting director Fabio Paratici has confirmed.
The 33-year-old is expected to leave the Spanish side in the current transfer window after new coach Ronald Koeman decided the attacker had no place in his plans for the future.
Juventus emerged as the favourites to land him and the Uruguay international even reached an agreement with the Serie A champions over a €10 million (£9m/$12m) contract, and subsequently travelled to Italy for a language exam in order to get a passport.
