Barcelona are reported to have agreed a fee of just under €80 million for the transfer of Luis Suarez from Liverpool.

Catalan TV channel TV3 are reporting that a fee of £63 million (€79.5 million) has been accepted by the Premier League club for the Uruguay striker, who will sign a five-year deal at the Nou Camp.

Earlier in the day Fifa re-iterated that Suarez will not be allowed to train during his four-month ban for biting despite reports to the contrary.

Fifa's disciplinary chief Claudio Sulser has said the Liverpool striker would be allowed to have a medical ahead of any transfer but the world governing body has stressed he cannot train with a team.
