  • (L-R): Suarez, Kazmir and Maloney.

    After spells in Nacional and Groningen, Suarez, shone at Ajax scoring 81 times in 110 appearances before Liverpool splashed out £22.8m in January 2011.

    That money was well spent, helping the Merseyside outfit to the 2012 League Cup before being named Players’ Player of the Year two years later.

    His 31 goals in 2014 season saw him claim the Premier League Golden Boot. With 69 goals in 110 games, Barca paid £65m, making him the third most expensive player in history.

    He has formed a lethal partnership with Lionel Messi and Neymar, winning the Champions League, Copa del Rey and La Liga in his first season.
