Luis Suarez has cast further uncertainty over his Liverpool future after refusing to provide the club with assurances as speculation grows that Real Madrid will bid for the striker.
 
The Merseyside club have held two meetings with Suarez’s agent, Pere Guardiola, the brother of incoming Bayern Munich manager Pep, since he was hit with a 10-game ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic – prior to which they were confident of keeping the striker – and fear their star man has set his sights on a summer transfer.
 
The 26-year-old is keen to play in the Champions League and the Reds are understood to be willing to listen to offers from overseas clubs despite their public insistence that he is not for sale.

Liverpool are growing frustrated with the uncertainty surrounding the striker, despite the fact the Uruguayan is under contract until 2016.
 
Suarez, who scored 30 goals in all competitions last season, is believed to be a target for Spanish giants Real Madrid, with Gonzalo Higuain expected to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
 
Despite reports of a €39 million buy-out agreement, no such clause exists in Suarez’s contract. However, offers above €45m would test the Anfield club’s resolve in holding on to their most prized asset.
 
Suarez has been involved in a number of controversial incidents since his £26m move to Anfield from Ajax in January 2011 and is serving a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Ivanovic in April.
 
He also served an eight-match suspension during the 2011-12 campaign after being found guilty by the FA of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
 
Suarez has continually insisted that he feels settled on Merseyside but has also admitted that he would consider an offer from a club in the Champions League.
 
Liverpool missed out on a top-four finish after only managing to finish seventh in the Premier League last season in Brendan Rodgers’ first season in charge at Anfield.

The attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga side, but his current club have received no formal bid as of yet

Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has stressed that the Eredivisie champions have not yet received an official offer from Borussia Dortmund for Christian Eriksen.

Reports from Denmark earlier this week suggested that BVB had tabled a bid in the region of €12 million for the attacking midfielder, but Ajax have made it clear they still await a formal approach from the Champions League finalists.

“The Danish press publishes all kinds of stories, but Dortmund have not made a formal offer for Eriksen,” Overmars told Algemeen Dagblad.

The 21-year-old has a contract with Ajax until June 2014, but the Amsterdam giants are ready to cash in on the midfielder this summer if a good offer comes in.

Aside from Dortmund, Eriksen has also caught the attention of Premier League sides such as Tottenham and Liverpool.

The 28-year-old’s agent has described a muted move to the serie A side as “very difficult” as speculation continues to link the defender with a reunion with Rafa Benitez

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has been distanced from a switch to Serie A outfit Napoli after his agent played down the likelihood of a transfer away from Anfield.

The Slovakian was named Liverpool’s player of the season in the 2011/12 campaign and was rewarded with a new four-year-deal, but has found his playing time limited under Brendan Rodgers.

Skrtel is one of several Liverpool players linked with a move to Napoli following ex-Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez’s appointment, but Skrtel’s agent Karol Csonto has dismissed rumours.

“It’s not possible; I consider it a very difficult deal,” Csonto told Calciomercatio.it.

“I like Napoli and I have great respect for this club, but Martin still has a three-year contract with Liverpool and the most likely outcome is that he remains there.”

Following the appointment of Benitez at the Stadio San Paolo, Csonto said: “They spent three years together, establishing a good relationship with him, but I repeat now that this suggestion is impossible.”
