Poor Market Makes Keeping Suarez a Real Possibility

With speculation continuing to circle around the future of Liverpool forward Luis Suarez, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is sure to have looked through the market for possible replacements and will have been worried with what he found. The club’s stance has always been that Suarez is not for sale but Rodgers has also conceded that every player has his price and if Liverpool receive an offer in the £50-60mil region they are sure to seriously consider it, especially if the bid comes from a foreign club.

While some believe that Liverpool could build a potentially better squad without Suarez with the fee the club would receive for his transfer, a quick glance at the quality of players available in the transfer market this summer means that it will be no easy task finding the right players to replace a key player in Suarez. Most quality attackers that were available this summer have already been snapped up by Manchester City, Monaco, PSG and Napoli, with the talents of Alvaro Negredo, Stevan Jovetic, Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez, Edinson Cavani and Gonzalo Higuain already changing clubs. Other talents such as Jackson Martinez, Hulk, Stephan El Shaarawy and Christian Benteke all have either no interest in leaving their current club, or have no interest in joining a club that cannot provide Champions League football.
