Liverpool have made it clear that Luis Suarez is not for sale, after the want-away player revealed his desire to leave England this summer.
The Uruguayan cited the incessant criticisms from the English press, as the major reason why he has decided to quit Anfield, with Real Madrid believed to be interested in his signature.
“Luis Suarez is not for sale – neither Luis or his representatives have communicated these feelings directly to Liverpool football club,” a Liverpool spokesman told Goal.
“The club remains supportive of Luis and expect him to honour his contract. We will not be making any further comment at this stage.”
Suarez signed a new five-year deal last summer and is contracted till 2017, but he told the Uruguayan press: “I think it’s understandable that I leave.
“My reason for leaving is not the money. If it were the money I would have left already. My main reason is my family and my image. The coach and my colleagues know that the press didn’t treat me well. I don’t feel comfortable any more.
“I couldn’t go to my garden or the supermarket. I couldn’t do anything. I know it is normal being followed by the press, but it was too much.
“They talk about me being the named as the best player in England, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen. I knew it because of the way the treated me.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back (biting Ivanovic) was my mistake. I accept my fault, but they went too far.”
