Arsenal's £40m Suarez bid rejected Arsenal have stepped up their attempt to sign Luis Suarez with a £40,000,001 offer - which Liverpool have rejected.
The bid was made on Tuesday after Liverpool had turned down a previousoffer of £30 million, sources told ESPN. It is understood that Arsenalhave made their latest bid in the belief that it will trigger a
reported £40 million release clause in the contract Suarez signed last summer.
But Liverpool have knocked back the new offer, maintaining that they areonly compelled to inform the 26-year-old of any bids exceeding thatamount - and that they do not have to sell at that price.
They have made it clear that they
do not want to sell the striker, and are unlikely to contemplate any offers below £50 million.
Suarez is scheduled to hold talks regarding his future with Liverpoolmanager Brendan Rodgers in Australia on Wednesday, following a friendlyagainst Melbourne Victory at the MCG.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s desire to sign the Uruguay internationalhas intensified after being frustrated in his attempts to sign RealMadrid forward Gonzalo Higuain, who looks set to join former Liverpoolmanager Rafa Benitez at Napoli.
But Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said on Monday that he expectsSuarez to honour his contract, which has three years to run.
Rodgers has also stated that he believes the striker to be as valuableas Edinson Cavani, who recently joined Paris Saint-Germain for £55million on June 16.
Suarez, signed from Ajax for £22.8 million in January 2011, first announced in May that he wanted to leave Anfield.
He initially claimed he was been driven out of the Premier League by theBritish media and the Football Association, having been given a10-match domestic ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovicduring a Premier League match at Anfield on April 21.
He then said earlier this month that he was flattered by Arsenal’sinterest, with his agent Pere Guardiola indicating to Liverpool that theforward wanted to join a club in the Champions League.
Suarez flew to Melbourne on Sunday to join up with Liverpool’spre-season tour of the Far East and Australia, having been given a breakby the club after playing for Uruguay at the Confederations Cup inBrazil in June.
The striker has six games still to serve on his domestic ban for bitingIvanovic, and will not be able to play in the Premier League untilSeptember.

http://espnfc.com/news/story?id=1505557&cc=4716 英國各大報章本週三的焦點，再次集中到蘇亞雷斯身上。阿仙奴再次為利物浦王牌報價，價碼是頗為玩味的40,000,001鎊。利物浦選擇了拒絕，不過有報導指出根據合約約定，蘇亞雷斯現在可以提出要求與買家談判。
阿仙奴在收購希古恩碰壁後，對蘇亞雷斯展開了瘋狂的攻勢。兩周前，阿仙奴報價3000萬鎊外加500萬浮動條款，被利物浦斷然拒絕。
據《鏡報》和《電訊報》報導，在蘇亞雷斯的合約中有一條特殊的條款，只要有球會出價超過4000萬鎊，利物浦就必須將有關報價的事情如實告知蘇亞雷斯。週二晚間，阿仙奴在4000萬鎊的基礎上，象徵性多出1鎊。這多出1鎊的意義，在於令球會告知蘇亞雷斯有關的報價，《衛報》則指出，這讓蘇亞雷斯可以提出要求與買家接觸。
而據《泰晤士報》報導，蘇亞雷斯經理人認為，當出現4000萬鎊以上的報價時，利物浦就不能阻止蘇亞雷斯離開，但利物浦對合約條款有不同理解，認為球會只須予以考慮，而結果就是拒絕此次求購。
對於阿仙奴的二度報價，利物浦再次選擇了拒絕。羅渣士之前曾表示，蘇亞雷斯的身價應該與其國家隊隊友卡雲尼相若。最近，卡雲尼剛剛以6400萬歐羅（5500萬鎊）從拿玻里轉投巴黎聖日耳門。
《鏡報》指出，阿仙奴現在希望蘇亞雷斯能親口告訴羅渣士，自己希望同阿仙奴談判。據瞭解，阿仙奴願意為26歲的蘇七打破現有的薪金架構，為他準備一份為期五年、週薪15萬鎊的優厚合約。
