Barcelona have agreed to sell striker Luis Suarez to La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid.
Barca's coach Ronald Koeman had told Suarez that he is out of his plans for the next season, and the Catalans were happy to release him for free, providing he did not join certain other top clubs.
The Uruguayan agreed terms on a reduced salary with Atletico after a move to Juventus failed because of passport issues.
Barcelona chairman Josep Maria Bartomeu then blocked the deal because he did not wish to sell to a Spanish rival.
"But, after meeting with Suarez's representatives, the Catalan club have backed down, with the striker threatening to air his grievances to the media," BBC reported.
