ARSENAL could face a double-setback in their pursuit of a high-profile striker this summer, with news that Real Madrid are preparing to step in with an offer for Luis Suarez – and may use Gonzalo Higuain as bait.
Both the Daily Mail and Mirror have reported that Madrid will make their interest in Suarez official over the coming days, in light of Arsenal’s offer for the Uruguayan; who had an initial offer of £30 million turned down last week.
The Gunners have also been chasing Real’s Higuain this summer, and had hoped to have the deal confirmed weeks ago, however their failure to capture the Argentine resulted in their attentions being turned towards Liverpool’s number 7.
Now though, sources in Spain have indicated the Bernabeu side will offer Higuain to Liverpool, in exchange for Suarez.
That would represent a massive double-blow to Arsene Wenger who is desperate for quality reinforcements up-front, and would miss out on his two prime striking targets in one move.
For their part, Liverpool have always insisted that their star forward is not for sale, and would not be interested in any player-plus-cash offering, with only offers in excess of £40 million being considered; and even then, only if the player submits an official transfer request – something he is yet to do.
In either case, Brendan Rodgers is ready to take the situation as close to the end of the transfer window as possible, in hopes that he may keep hold of the player, or cash in on their star at a higher price.

higuain and morata plus £10m… that would be closer to the mark… take a hike gooners!!!
Hiquain wouldn’t get champions league football at Liverpool for many years to come can’t see him going there, maybe he’s better at Everton lol who finished closer
Maybe better at Everton, last night their trophy room was burgled, everything was taken,
Police are searching for an empty glass cabinet and a blue carpet.
Heard some 1 burgled the emirates trophy room aswell but said there was f**k all in there, on the way out the chairman tried to give the burglar bentder and gervinho but he said he would get nothing on them.
lol
Probably not but 1thing is certain arsenal are scared an will miss out again like every year, that’s why they never win nothing and are just challenging for 4th place, maybe if they were a bit braver and put a proper bid in for Suarez/iguain people might start taking them seriously, Be coz with likes of giroud , podolski, gervinho, bentder who hull even rejected they will struggle this season.
At least Hiquain would have a chance of winning trophies at Liverpool something arseholenil haven’t managed for 8 long years and counting.
At least Higuain would have a chance of winning some silverware at Liverpool something arsenil have’t managed in 8 long long years and counting you muppet.
Suarez for higuain and mortata + 10 mil. Then sell higuain to arsenal for 30 mil. Then buy Bernard, Eriksen and some defenders. Now hurry up reds and get this deal done. We end up with:
Courtinho-Sturridge-Bernard
Aspas-Eriksen-Gerard
as our front two lines. Champions leage here we come.
Marc you are rait 100%
Saurez is a drama queen caught on crap and made the club suffer now he looks at the club as a failure. You failed your team and fans…… No passion please leave England! YNWA!
Suarez=higiuan+rodriguez+10m. I see suarez going to chelsea or man c.
I would make Chelsea Favs to snare Suarez, coz they can use Ivanovic as Bait.
When saurez goes to another premier league team, will that protect him from the british press? Now he wants champions league football while he spends most of his time suspended. Suarez should grew up and work for hard for whatever he wants to achieve.
Real will bid for Rooney haha Suarez needs a real-ty check that real players stay and put on the famous red shirt and help win EPL.
Gash,but why is it always difficult for arsenal to rap up a deal fast ..we waste too much time dilliy dalling on a player an later loose then unnecessarily.I’m sure if they re really serious about the deal 25M would av done the deal sharperly.you need not doubt it he’s a top top finisher he will only add to the squard
The 6 teams above us last season are not any stronger and redz just continue where they left off and they should be fine but keep LS world class.
jealousy is an ugly shade on you lot.. your time is done, jog on
mtcewww
Forever Red,
Time to let him go as his heart is not there any longer!
Would accept Mata and Lukaku along with cash? Proven prem players and guaranteed goals.
Just like Torres to Chelski the grass is no greener, can’t see Suarez hitting the same height next season, too much baggage.
The Reds will move on YNWA.
Dont keep unhappy players, look what happened Mascherano. Sell LS soon and replace with 2 AM and 1 DM keep Skertl. Everyone scores and CL here we come.
That’s been like that there its all total Rubish!tired
What Suarez has done is stupid. Now PFC need to just hold tight for 40+ offer and be right *to real Madrid
Up reds let us kill ourself 4 suarez , take the cash and the player 4rm real.m and let him go , when torres want to chelsea he came so if he goes we can still have another. Ever lfc
a tree can not make forest let him go.
Let the goofy *go!!! Lol. He’s a great individual player but he’s not a team player. He’s been suspended for 18 games for 2 incidents. We can’t afford to keep hold of players like that. Buy Wayne Rooney that’ll really piss the evertonians off!!!
Jeez . How dumb is that comment ??? 5 year olds should not be allowed to post
Prepare a bucket of iced water and splash it on all EPL team reps who comes asking for his signature. Hold LS for at least £45m..and sell him to someone outside EPL..He is rabid dog..will not think twice biting us back if he plays at EPL.
