Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who is suspended for the first six games of next season’s Premier League campaign, is reportedly keen to leave Anfield this summer and has set his sights on a move to join Real Madrid.
According to reports by Guillem Balague in his latest column for Sport.es. Suarez may turn his back on the Anfield faithful and if he moves away from England then his suspension may not come into play at the start of next season.
Such news will come as a shock to the club’s loyal fan base who are more than aware of just how crucial a member of the Liverpool set-up the 26 year old striker is.
Suarez is in the middle of a ten game ban handed down to him after he bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic and it has been made apparent by the Uruguayan that he feels unhappy with the manner in which he has been treated by the footballing authorities in the English top tier as well as the constant bombardment he has come under from the nation’s press. Brendan Rodgers has backed this up by saying he feels that the Football Association banned his star striker for the man and not punishment.
A move to Real Madrid for Luis Suarez may well be of interest to club president Florentino Pérezone given that both Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema have failed to adequately support Cristiano Ronaldo and they may be following Jose Mourinho out the Bernabeu back door this summer.
Suarez had an excellent season in 2012/13, scoring 30 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions and has scored a total of 51 goals in 96 appearances since his £22.8m move from Ajax back in January 2011.
It would be a devastating loss to Brendan Rodgers if someone of Suarez’s ability and quality left Anfield but perhaps the manager only needs to look at how Liverpool won three and drew one of the four games, scoring ten goals in the process, at the end of last season when Suarez started his suspension.
