According to Deportes Cuatro, Liverpool will try to sign Luis Suárez if Mohamed Salah leaves Anfield.
The Spanish news outlet regurgitate their own information from a few weeks ago in the report.
However, the fresh news is that Liverpool face competition from David Beckham’s Inter Miami for the 116-cap Uruguay international.
Atlético Madrid are willing to let him leave, with Deportes Cuatro claiming that Diego Simeone’s side will ‘clean the dressing room’ this summer.
It sounds like a fire sale might be on the cards at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Nevertheless, if Liverpool bring Suárez back to Anfield, it would surely be one of the biggest moments of the summer – if not the biggest.
The 34-year-old became one of Europe’s greatest players on Merseyside following a £22.8 million move from Ajax in 2011.
Suárez scored 69 Premier League goals in 110 games for the Reds, while also registering 23 assists.
You might think that the South American has lost some of his talents, now that he’s 34.
However, he is still an exquisite player, who is playing brilliantly this season.
Suárez has scored 19 goals in just 26 La Liga appearances this season, placing him second in the scoring charts behind Lionel Messi’s 23 goals.
He’s hardly a like-for-like replacement for Salah.
Having said that, he clearly still knows where the goal is, and knows English football well, so there are many positives about this deal if it happens.
