Suarez denies he’s staying at Liverpool

Luis Suarez has said he never told anybody that he would remain with Liverpool. His statement came soon after an earlier one that suggested he had given up on transfer for the sake of Liverpool fans whom he said had shown him so much love.


“I didn’t say it,” Suarez told journalists following Uruguay’s 4-2 win over Japan.

The quick turnaround shouldn’t be particularly shocking given the nature of Suarez’ transfer saga, with Liverpool intent on keeping him in the fold and the player ready to move on.

The earlier reports hinted that Suarez seemed to had performed a sensational u-turn over his future and insisted that he would remain at Anfield.

The Uruguay international has been eager to leave England, aggrieved by his treatment from the British media, but the Reds are unwilling to let their star player leave.

Arsenal, where participation in the Champions League appealed to Suarez, pushed hard to sign the 26-year-old, though a bid of £42m – which would have smashed the club’s transfer record – was rejected.

Earlier in the day the former Ajax front man appeared to have finally accepted Liverpool’s no-sale stance, and was reported as saying that the club’s passionate fan base had convinced him to remain on Merseyside.

“Right now, because of all the love of the fans, I will be staying,” Uruguayan newspaper El Observador quoted him as having said.”
