Juve Officials To Fly In For Suarez Talks
Italians champions Juventus have refused to give up on signing Luis Suarez this summer and will look to hold talks with Liverpool next week, according to reports
With the summer transfer window in full swing, Football Talk will be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest transfer news throughout the summer. Today, Juventus are once again linked with Luis Suarez.
Italians champions Juventus have refused to give up on signing Luis Suarez this summer and will look to hold talks with Liverpool next week, according to talkSPORT.
The report claims that Suarez remains the Serie A giants number one transfer target this summer as they look to add a marquee name to the squad ahead of their return to the champions league next season.
talkSPORT believe the clubs sporting director, Giuseppe Marotta, will fly to Merseyside next week to meet with Liverpool officials to discuss a possible transfer.
It’s understood Marotti is confident he can land the 25-year-old after reports emerged from Uruguay suggesting the striker would be open to a move to Juve this summer.
However, new Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers claimed earlier this week that he has already held positive talks with Suarez over extending his contract and the former Swansea manager won’t let his star striker leave without a fight.
Football Talk Verdict
I’m not convinced by this latest piece of transfer gossip from talkSPORT. Suarez is under contract with Liverpool and hasn’t been agitating for a move, despite the reports coming from Uruguay recently, which could very well have been taken out of context.

I don’t think there is any chance Suarez will leave Anfield this summer, as Rodgers will be looking to build his new-look side around the talented forward. The chances are, if Marotti does fly to Merseyside next week, he’ll quickly be told to forget about signing Suarez before jumping on the next flight back to Turin.
