Liverpool have reportedly increased their interest in Sporting CP striker Luis Suarez as they begin planning for a future without Mohamed Salah. According to Correio da Manhã, Liverpool are prepared to make a strong effort to sign the Colombian international. Liverpool view Suarez as a strong option for their attack. The primary obstacle is Suarez’s €80 million (£69m) release clause. Reports suggest that Liverpool are not currently willing to trigger that full amount because of the striker’s age. Instead, Liverpool are expected to make initial offers of around €60m, with the hope of negotiating a lower fee before the summer window officially opens.

The Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha reports that Liverpool have an intense interest in signing Suarez and are making a strong effort to sign him.
