    Arsenal given clear run at Luis Suarez after Real Madrid 'pull out'

    ARSENAL look to be the sole contenders for Luis Suarez's signature after Real Madrid appear to have pulled out of the race for his signature.

    Could Luis Suarez be waving goodbye to Liverpool?

    Despite seeing their bizarre bid of £40m + £1 for the 26-year-old rejected by Liverpool, the Uruguayan has been permitted to talk to the Gunners.

    Their bid was laughed off by Liverpool owner John W. Henry, who tweeted yesterday: "What do you think they're smoking over at the Emirates?".

    Though Real Madrid were also closely connected with a move for Suarez, it seems they are about to cool their interest.

    Real saw Gonzalo Higuain complete a £34.5m move to Napoli yesterday after he passed a medical and he is expected to be officially presented on Monday.

    Real Madrid 'pull out' of race for Luis Suarez
    Marca, who are a mouthpiece for Real, understand that Suarez is no longer on their agenda as they are not looking for a direct replacement for the Argentine.

    The ball appears to be in Suarez's court, even though Brendan Rodgers has valued the striker the same as Edinson Cavani, who joined PSG for £55m.

    Suarez came off the bench and played 18 minutes of Liverpool's pre-season win over Melbourne Victory in front of a full house at the MCG.

    Real have managed to tie down Jese Rodriguez, who was a Spurs target, has penned a four-year deal which will see him stay at the Bernebeu until 2017.

    They also appear close to be offering Alvaro Moratta, who caught the eye of Liverpool, a new deal too.

    Meanwhile, Real are not giving up on their pursuit of Gareth Bale, even though Andre Villas-Boas has categorically stated he is not for sale.

    Reading that and Rodgers hardly appears to be the brightest of persons, right?

    Comparing Suarez to Cavani is silly. Cavani went for £50m because PSG wanted him. Chelsea stopped bidding at around £40m. So basically when you start getting up towards the £50m mark for a player only a handful of clubs can afford to buy him. If those clubs already have great strikers then you're not going to be able to sell your striker to those clubs.

    Cavani's scoring record is much better than Suarez's, he's not constantly suspended and seemingly has a far better character so of course he's worth more.

    Also, didn't PSG just cut out the middle man and pay Cavani's release clause? If so, it's not like they actually valued him at that but 10 million extra doesn't mean a huge amount to them.

    Napoli are also a Champions League club whereas Liverpool are currently not and I know we are in the same country but that's not the comparison Rodgers made - the only comparison he made was based on the players, not where the clubs are situated (although that means me mentioning the Champions League is a bit pointless).

    Yeah, I find it very odd that so many Liverpool fans, their owner and manager seemingly think £40m is way under Suarez's value. Who the hell is going to pay more for him?? If PSG thought he was so great they'd have bought him instead of Cavani. RM seemingly don't want him, Barca don't need him, Bayern are stacked with players, Monaco bought Falcao and Chelsea prefer Rooney - there's no other clubs in the running.

    Liverpool should be counting their lucky stars that they somehow managed to persuade Suarez to sign a new contract last season otherwise they'd be selling him for about £20m.

    Also all of this nonsense about Liverpool being loyal to Suarez is wearing a bit thin. They were loyal because he's their best player by a country mile, a lesser player would have been hung out to dry.

    I think the point is Liverpool don't want to sell, if they did it might be different.

    I think the £40,000,001 thing (if true) was a stupid thing to do, it comes across really petty and is more likely to make Liverpool dig their heels in and be more determined not to sell to us.

    So you think he's worth £50m the same as Cavani - who's a better player, isn't always suspended and has a better character AND only had one club meet his release clause of £50m?

    I guess you're just not used to selling your best players like we are. £40m is a very fair price imo.
