The Uruguayan striker shocked Liverpool fans when he made a £75million move to the Camp Nou shortly after guiding the Reds to a second-place Premier League finish.
But the 28-year-old's representative, Pere Guardiola - brother of Bayern Munich boss Pep - claims that Suarez could not resist a move to a club he dreamed of playing for as a child.
He told Four Four Two: "When he was in Uruguay, Luis dreamed of playing for a major European team and he did at Liverpool in a league as competitive as the Premier League.
"But Barcelona is something else. Something special. This is the club he loves.
"The opportunity to play for a club like this one comes very rarely and you should take advantage.

"This kind of transfer is a process. It does not happen in a day. In the case of Luis, it happened over three months.
"There was contact before the World Cup - some time before.
"I am in contact with many clubs, but this time it was different.
"From when we discussed the transfer for the first time, it was a long road with many obstacles."
