He says he wants to finish off his career with his home town club. This gives him the chance to do it. Legally, it looks like Barcelona's case is stronger than his. So I wouldn't recommend him taking them to court. He's already lost one court case already.
I saw Higuain's comments about him playing in England, and I agree with them. At 33 years old, he doesn't seem to have the will to change and adapt as you have to, to survive in our league. Off the pitch, he doesn't seem to have the will to learn English (or whatever the host club's main language is) either. Unlike Pele who was brave enough to experience a different football culture, and learn English, which alone opened up other doors for him after his career ended.
A native French teacher told me years ago, that it doesn't matter how good you are, if you can't speak English, you're "disabled". I think that's as true now as it ever was. Someone who mercifully can speak English, is Suarez. If Koeman doesn't want him around, I would take him back, as back up to the front three.
