Liverpool have said no to a £30m offer from Arsenal for striker Luis Suarez. The Uruguay forward has been at the centre of transfer speculation for a few months now, after stating in May that it would be a "good moment for a change". He also said it would be "difficult to say no" to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have not yet made an official bid for Suarez while Liverpool refused to comment on reports of Arsenal's offer. The Reds have previously insisted Suarez is not for sale at any price.
Media reports claim Arsenal made an approach and Liverpool rejected it on the spot. Chelsea are also reportedly interested in getting Suarez while Arsenal might take their interest further if manager Arsene Wenger won't manage to wrap up a deal for Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain. Real Madrid also remain in contention as they might be willing to break the bank and offer around 50 million pounds to persuade Liverpool.
However, the Merseyside club and manager Brendan Rodgers continue to hold their position, which says that they have no desire to sell Suarez, even though their hand might be forced by the player's discontent. Suarez is currently on holiday after playing for Uruguay in the Confederations Cup in Brazil and will return to England at the end of the month.
