Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone believes Luis Suarez can lift the club to new heights and said his new signing will be in the squad to face Granada on Sunday.
Suarez trained with his new teammates for the the first time on Friday after being pushed out by Barcelona, who allowed the 33-year-old to leave for free, with only an extra €5 million due in variables.
"His arrival is an opportunity for us to keep growing as a club and to have new energy as a team," said Simeone.
"We spoke before he went to Barcelona at a time when the possibility came up that he might join us. The last six years he's had have been incredibly successful.
"His teammates want to make him settle in as quickly as possible so his goals and game can help us win."
Uruguay international Suarez is in line to make his debut against Granada at the Wanda Metropolitano this weekend.

10 Luis Suarez controversies
Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
