Liverpool striker Luis Suarez’s open courting of Spanish giants Real Madrid to make a bid for him continued on Saturday as he once again said he would find it hard to turn down an offer if they came knocking in the next few months.
The 26-year-old Uruguayan signed a contract tying him to the Premier League club until 2018 just last August, but he has endured another controversial season in England and ended the campaign serving a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
“I think every player aspires to be at the top and if you ask any eight-year-old child they will tell you that one day they would want to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
“They are big teams and everyone wants to go there,” he told Spanish sports daily Marca on Saturday.
“Firstly, I have a contract with the club. But if one day they wanted to sign me, Liverpool would listen to the offer, as they have with other players and as all clubs do.
“Then the teams would have to come to an agreement, although, of course, the word of the player, in this case mine, is important. If one needs a change, they have to listen to the player.” Suarez was one of the Premier League’s standout players last season with 23 goals and five assists in just 33 appearances.
With Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain looking set to leave, Real Madrid, are expected to be in the market for a striker and have also been linked with a move for Suarez’s international teammate Edison Cavani.
