Luis Suárez

[Alex]

I think he is more interested in making as much money for him and his client as possible.

[Rowan]

I doubt that he will move to Real. IMO he will either stay or move to Bayern.

As everyone know Suarez agent is Pep's brother. I doubt that he is that interested in making Real much stronger.

That's exactly it. Exactly. I fully expect that Suarez will never ever get a move to real Madrid OR Dortmund for that matter because Guardiola's brother as his agent would never, ever do that move.

At the end of the day. Even if you are the best player in the world if your agent is the brother of a former Barca manager you will never get the chance to move to Real.

[Roboklopp]

Was about to say something similar but couldn't be bothered.

[Fredo]

Yeah no one has got a ****ing clue.

[Rowan]

Even if he wanted to move to Lazio he couldn't do that because of the year Pep spent at Roma. Poor Luis. He's a bit ****ed really.

[Roboklopp]

Everyone know that, don't know why you bothered wasting the ink.

[Arn]

Even if he wanted to move to Lazio he couldn't do that because of the year Pep spent at Roma. Poor Luis. He's a bit ****ed really.

I doubt that he care about Roma. He is 100% Barcelona even if he is now the manager of Bayern.

Liverpool's Luis Suarez is a transfer target for Kop legend Rafa Benitez and Napoli
19 Jun 2013 22:32

Italians' new boss is resigned to Cavani exit and sees Uruguay team-mate as ideal replacement PLUS Reds eye Gremio starlet

Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has set his sights on Luis Suarez as a replacement for Edinson Cavani, writes John Cross.

New Napoli coach Benitez - still a hero at the Anfield giants after leading the club to European Cup glory in 2005 - sees controversial Kop striker Suarez as the perfect replacement for hot property Cavani.

Benitez is resigned to losing Cavani, wanted by Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea, but is expected to receive around £50million for the Uruguayan - and that will give him the spending power to go for Suarez, his national-team strike-partner.

However, Suarez appears to have set his sights on a move to Real Madrid himself, after making it clear he is in the mood to quit Liverpool this summer.

* LIVERPOOL have begun negotiations with Gremio with a view to signing starlet Matheus Biteco at the end of this month, writes Ed Malyon.

The 17-year-old midfielder was part of the Brazil team that won this year’s prestigious Toulon tournament, and did enough to convince the Reds to finally make their move after following his progress for the last 12 months.

Brazilian rules prevent players being sold to overseas clubs until they are 18, but with Biteco’s birthday falling on June 28 there are no longer any red tape issues that would prevent his transfer.

The youngster - full name is Matheus Betancourt da Silva - has not yet played in a national championship game for Gremio, but impressed in Brazil’s state championships in February and March.

Liverpool have previous with Gremio, having bought Lucas Leiva from the Porto Alegre outfit in 2007.

Liverpool cannot let Luis Suarez 'do a Torres' over transfer warns Jamie Carragher
19 Jun 2013 22:31

Defender turned TV pundit doesn't think star would "down tools" if he isn't sold but fears the damage he could cause by doing so



Jamie Carragher has warned former club Liverpool over the dangers of clinging on to a player who is desperate to leave... and downs tools in protest.

The newly-retired Anfield legend sees parallels between the current situation surrounding unsettled Reds striker Luis Suarez and the nightmare scenario that saw a sulking Fernando Torres almost derail the whole club with his antics after being denied a move.

While new Sky Sports recruit Carragher is confident his friend and former team-mate Suarez would never stop trying for the Liverpool cause if he is not sold, he outlined his fears for the club he served all his career, after enduring one of the most unsavoury chapters in recent Anfield history.

Many fans branded Torres a disgrace for his attitude in his final years at Liverpool, and Carragher pointed to that situation, which he witnessed with disgust at close hand, as something that can tear clubs apart if not handled properly.

“The thing about keeping unhappy players is an issue because we had that experience with Torres... and keeping him definitely wasn’t the right thing to do,” argued Carragher.

“Torres wasn’t the same player for about 18 months. He gave the impression of having downed tools - and that’s certainly what you don’t want.

“I do believe that Suarez is a slightly different character to Fernando Torres.

“There were times, I believe, Torres wasn’t giving his best on the pitch for Liverpool and that is why it was a mistake to keep him.

“I don’t think that will happen with Suarez, simply because of the player he is. But it is something you must be aware of.

“Obviously, it is a difficult situation if a player has had his head turned, but someone at the club would have to deal with it.”

Carragher believes the controversial Uruguayan HAS had his head turned by the interest of Real Madrid, but argues bluntly that you’d have to be naive in the extreme to think players wouldn’t under those circumstances.

And he believes the Reds will have planned for such a scenario even before last season ended.

“Luis is one of the best players in the world and, when Real Madrid come calling, it will obviously turn a player’s head - he’s obviously had his head turned, but which player wouldn’t?" added Carragher.



“Liverpool would have known they were always going to be in this situation, with other clubs calling for Luis Suarez this summer.

“If you were honest, Luis Suarez is playing in a team that finished seventh in the Premier League, but he is one of the best players in the world.

“It would be pretty naive to think that no club would be interested in him. Madrid are probably the most famous club in world football - and, let’s not forget, they took Cristiano Ronaldo from a Manchester United side that had just been in the Champions League final.”

Carragher has been able to take a step back to look dispassionately at the new campaign with Wednesday's announcement of the fixture list, and admits to being excited by the clash between Manchester United and Chelsea on the second weekend of the season.

Yet, understandably enough, he still retains concerns for his former club as they face the toughest of calls over whether to fight to force Suarez to stay, or cash in and find a suitable replacement.

Of one thing is he certain though - Liverpool must be more decisive in the transfer market than they have been in recent years:

“Liverpool just can’t roll over and accept Luis Suarez will leave, but if he goes, they must get top dollar for him.

“If he was to be sold, it would be up to the club to make sure that the money was spent in the right way, after maybe not doing that after Torres went.

“They have to be decisive. They either wait for a bid they think is acceptable or they decide to keep him because he is Liverpool’s best player and they want to build a team around him.

“Whichever way, they need to act. If you lose a player late, it’s very hard to replace him at that stage of the window.

“I think the club has learned from the fiasco of the transfer deadline day last season [when failure to buy Fulham's Clint Dempsey left them painfully short of forwards] and they won’t be caught in that situation again.”
