Liverpool Transfer Rumours: Madrid Line-Up €36m Suarez Bid

Liverpool are bracing themselves for a €36m (£30m) bid from Spanish giants Real Madrid for star striker Luis Suarez, according to widespread reports today.

Suarez has endured a tough few months in England after being banned for one game and fined £20,000 for a gesture made towards Fulham fans, while he is currently serving an eight-game ban following his well documented ‘race-row’ with Man Utd defender Patrice Evra.

Liverpool FC and their fans have defended Suarez throughout, maintaining he was ‘wrongly interpreted’, and it’s thought they will fight tooth-and-nail to keep the player at Anfield.

However, it’s been suggested that Suarez is hugely disappointed with the rough treatment he’s received from the FA and it’s thought that Jose Mourinho is hoping to take advantage of the situation and offer the 24-year-old an ‘escape route’. Reports in Spain claim that Real will launch a €36m (£30m) bid this month in an attempt to prize Suarez away from Merseyside.

It’s highly unlikely the Reds would consider an offer for their star striker, and would only consider a sale should Suarez hand in a written transfer request.
