Liverpool 'reject £30m offer' from Arsenal for striker Luis Suárez - The Guardian

Arsenal have had a £30m bid for Luis Suárez turned down by Liverpool, according to reports on Sunday night. The Gunners are believed to have made the audacious offer for the unsettled Uruguayan at the end of last week but the club record bid was immediately rejected.

Liverpool remain keen to keep the striker, despite his recent statements about wanting to leave the Premier League because of his treatment at the hands of the English press.

Rumours of Arsenal's interest surfaced a few days ago after some bookmakers stopped taking money on Suárez moving to north London following a flurry of bets.

Arsenal are still attempting to complete the signing of Gonzalo Higuaín from Real Madrid and any offer for Suárez could be seen as an attempt to pressurise the Spanish side into finalising the deal.

As yet the two clubs have failed to agree a fee for the Argentina international but a figure of around £23m has been mooted.
