adminmoving to Chelsea, to which I laugh,” Suarez told Uruguayan radio station Sport 809.
“There have been no offers yet, but Liverpool know exactly what is going on and what I want. “My agent is in charge, he knows what I want, I am resting and relaxed. I am due back in about ten days, on the 21st of July (for the friendly with Melbourne Victory) . . . a phone call could change everything.” Liverpool have held further talks with Suarez’s agent and reiterated their determination to keep the Uruguay striker at Anfield.
But on the day agent Pere Guardiola — brother of Bayern Munich boss Pep — spoke with Brendan Rodgers and managing director Ian Ayre, Suarez’s compatriot Edinson Cavani claimed his compatriot needs to quit Liverpool and find a club that can give him Champions League football.
Guardiola arrived at the Melwood training complex on Monday, hours after it had emerged Arsenal had a formal bid of £30 million for Suarez rebuffed. The agent has been in regular contact with Liverpool and the talks, which had been scheduled, were described as cordial.
“Luis has to be playing Champions League football,’ said Cavani. ‘When you have the most complete striker in the world not playing in the top competition in Europe, then you know something is not right. He deserves the Champions League and the Champions League deserves him.
“Real Madrid are a great team; Chelsea are a great team and Arsenal are a great team — but the most important thing is that they can offer him consistent Champions League football, which is not something Liverpool have been able to do.
“I can tell you his love for Liverpool is very real. If they were playing in the Champions League, he would not consider leaving. But he knows he is now at the stage of his career that he needs to be playing at the top level.’
The Gunners are the only club to have made a serious enquiry about Suarez but the figure was some way below the £40m fee in his contract that stipulates he can seek permission to speak to clubs prepared to offer that figure. — Mailonline.
