Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is convinced that star striker Luis Suarez will remain at Anfield well past the summer despite interest in the striker from Real Madrid and Arsenal.
The Uruguayan wanted to move clubs during last summer talking about his desire to play for the Spanish giants Real Madrid, and even though London club Arsenal made two offers Liverpool rejected the bids and he remains at Anfield.
The Liverpool boss is now talking about Suarez’s long term future at Liverpool despite the player only having two years remaining on his contract.
‘No, I wouldn’t say that,’ insisted Rodgers. ‘I think he, like ourselves, wants to be at the very highest level he can be.
‘And you can see by his performances he deserves to be looking at that level. But it also shows he has been excellent in his attitude, you see his work rate – that is the key.
‘For me, this is the place for Luis. I still maintain that even if we were in mid-table this would be the place for him to be because this is a massive club – a global institution.
‘But as a football club and as a team we are growing – and he can grow with us. Luis has the support of everyone at the club and the love of everyone and because this is a worldwide institution, there is no better place for him to grow.
‘When a player is happy and working well you get a performance like you did [against West Brom].’
