But it is said someone went back to the Uruguay striker's home and picked up his passport in order for him to catch the flight to England with the rest of the Barca squad.
Suarez has scored in his last seven games and has found the back of the net 15 times in nine matches, with an astonishing total of 41 goals for Barcelona this season.
The 29-year-old has also revealed how close he came to joining Arsenal.
"Arsenal's interest in me was very public – I don't think it is any secret," Suarez said..
"I had a private conversation with Stevie [Gerrard] after training and he told me to give Liverpool another season – and to wait for Barcelona.
"Looking back now it is one of the most important conversations of my life, but that is Stevie, he was a captain who was always ready to give his players advice."
