Luis Suarez is considering handing in a formal transfer request and taking legal action against Liverpool, should the club continue to deny him a move to Arsenal, according to sources close to the player.
The Uruguayan is desperate to leave Anfield this summer in pursuit of Champions League football, but the Reds have rejected two offers from Premier League rivals Arsenal, including one of £40 plus £1.
This bid, which would be the Gunners’ record transfer deal, was believed to have triggered a clause in Suarez’s contract, but Liverpool still refused to consider the offer.
And, according to the BBC, sources close to the striker have suggested he will take matters into his own hands by submitting a transfer request, should the Anfield club maintain their hard-sell stance.
There are also reports Suarez is contemplating legal action against Liverpool, as he feels the club have backtracked on an agreement which stated he could leave should a Champions League club offer in excess of £40m for his services.
While the arrangement is not formally written in his current contract, Suarez believes Liverpool have reneged on a verbal agreement.
