Luis Suarez’s camp have urged either Arsenal or Real Madrid to trigger what they believe is a £40million release clause in the Liverpool striker’s contract.
The Uruguayan has been left frustrated in his bid to leave Anfield this summer, with the Reds rejecting the only official offer on the table from Arsenal.
The Gunners’ opening gambit was believed to be a £30m bid rising to £35m with add-ons, but Liverpool’s valuation is much closer to £50m.
However, Suarez’s representatives believe they can force through a transfer if an offer of £40m is lodged – something the Merseysiders contest.
The Reds believe they only have to inform the player of a bid, and have no obligation to accept, but the striker’s camp wants this theory put to the test.
Suarez has indicated his willingness to join both Arsenal and Madrid, but it’s the Gunners who are the most likely to firm up their original offer in the 26-year-old.
The former Ajax man is due to join up with the rest of his Liverpool team-mates on July 21 in Australia for their pre-season tour, but has previously suggested he wants a resolution to his future by then.
