Arsenal bid for Suarez rejected
Arsenal have had a £30 million bid for Luis Suarez rejected by Liverpool, according to reports in the British media.The Telegraph and
The Timeshave revealed the Gunners' first concrete offer for the Uruguayinternational was swiftly turned down, with the fee falling well shortof Liverpool's expectations.
Reports last month suggested the Reds would only consider
offloading their striker for around £50 million, making Arsenal's offer incredibly audacious.
Despite Liverpool's insistence that Suarez is not for sale,
they have given him until July 22, right before the club's pre-season trip to Australia, to sort out his future.
Arsenal's interest has been simmering for some weeks now and a moveto the Emirates could come as a shock after Suarez's open statementsthat it is the English media, not Liverpool, that would force him intoan exit from Anfield.
It is unclear whether Arsenal will make an improved offer for Suarez,with the door now ajar for Real Madrid to consider an approach for the26-year-old.
