“It is too late for Real Madrid to bid for Suarez” – Rodgers

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, has said that it is too late for Real Madrid to bid for unsettled striker Luis Suarez.

There has been renewed speculation surrounding the Uruguay international, after it emerged that the La Liga side might go after him, if Arsenal succeed with their pursuit for Karim Benzema.

Rodgers said that a deal would be near impossible, as it is too late in the transfer window to get quality replacement for the 26-year-old.

“It’s very difficult at this time [for a Suarez bid to succeed],” Rodgers said.

“We are trying to get one or two more quality players in through the door. If we lose Luis at this stage, it would be difficult to replace him.

“There might have been a point a few months ago when there was time to do it, but not with only 11 days to go.”
