Liverpool manager,Brendan Rodgers have dismissed Arsenal’s bid for wantaway striker Luis Suarez.
Arsenal were thought to have reached a buy-out clause in Suarez’s contract which enables him to negotiate personal terms with them,but Liverpool said that they not near the player’s valuation £50m.
It is understood that Suarez wants to speak with Arsenal about a potential move,but Liverpool turned down the £40m plus £1,they offered for him.
“If Arsenal want the player they have to produce the value for the player,” Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
“There was an offer a few weeks ago of £35m and two weeks later it is now £40m and £1. I don’t think it is anywhere near the value of what he is worth.”
“It is two-fold really. A player may want to go, but then somebody has to pay the value or worth of that player.”
Suarez is said to be contemplating handing in a transfer request,in order to facilitate the move to Arsenal.
But Rodgers was quick to remind the Uruguayan that he owes the club,after they stood by him during his turbulent time.
“The support he has received from the supporters and the people of the city of Liverpool has been unrivalled,” Rodgers added.
“In this period of time he’s missed a lot of games for the club through various reasons. The people have stood by him like a son and really looked after him. Whatever happens in the coming weeks that will be in his mind because it’s something you can never forget.”
