The Uruguay forward was subject to much speculation after revealing his desire to leave Anfield in the summer, but he ended up remaining on Merseyside following a failed bid from Arsenal.
However, Marca claim the 26-year-old was extremely close to joining Real Madrid during the last transfer window and that his agent Pere Guardiola had reached an agreement with the Bernabeu club over the length of Suarez's contract, salary and transfer fee.
It is also believed that Suarez had reached an agreement with Liverpool to join Real Madrid if the capital club offered a fee of £39m.
However, Real's interest cooled due to the protracted nature of Gareth Bale's transfer from Tottenham and president Florentino Perez's concerns over Suarez's controversial nature.
But Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is still keen on Suarez - although it is uncertain if he will revive his interest in January, despite the fact the Uruguayan is not cup-tied for the Champions League.
