Real Madrid 'prepare £60m Suarez bid'

 

Real Madrid are ready to make a £60million summer bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez after making him their top transfer target.

Suarez, who was subject of interest from Madrid last summer, eventually stayed on Merseyside and signed a new long-term contract.

But after enjoying a remarkable season in which he’s helped Liverpool compete for the Premier League title, Madrid are ready to push ahead with a deal to bring him to Spain.

Real president Florentino Perez wants to add a big name Galactico forward to the squad next term to compete on all fronts, and Suarez has been made the number one choice.

According to reports in Spain, Madrid will open the bidding at £60million before the World Cup starts in five weeks time, but could go even higher to get their man.

Liverpool will resist any offer for their leading light, but Suarez is known to be keen on Madrid and would find resisting a switch difficult.

Karim Benzema, who is about to enter the final year of his Madrid contract, could be used as a possible make-weight if a cash deal cannot be reached.
