Arsenal set to increase bid to 40 million for Suarez

12 July 2013 13:01

Liverpool have told Arsenal to dig a little deeper in to their pockets for them to even consider selling Luis Suarez.

The Gunners are set to increase their bid for the Uruguay international, after having a £30m offer flatly rejected according to the Guardian.

Despite Suarez claiming he's keen to leave Anfield, The Reds do not wish sell the unsettled striker, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea.

The odds appear to be stacked against Arsenal however, as Suarez apparently revealed his desire to join Real Madrid.

My view on the matter is that Liverpool simply can't afford to let Suarez leave.

He's the force behind their attack. His hunger and desire, week in week out, is what keeps Liverpool afloat.

No disrespect to The Reds, but without him I fear they'd just lack that final product.

But, as we saw with Fernando Torres, every player has their price.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's efforts to land Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid for £23m are faltering, as the Spaniards want much more.
