talkSPORT’s Spanish football expert Begonia Perez claims Barcelona are ready to offer Alexis Sanchez as part of the deal to take Luis Suarez to the Nou Camp – but he would prefer a move to Italy.

The Uruguayan striker, who has been suspended for four-months following a bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup, is STILL being targeted by the La Liga side.

Liverpool will demand around £80million for the ex-Ajax man and Perez told talkSPORT the Catalan giants will use Chile star Sanchez to sweeten a deal.

“Barcelona are happy to use Alexis Sanchez as part of the Luis Suarez deal,” she told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show.

“He prefers a move to Italy though.”

Suarez has apologised for his actions, during the Group D clash, but Perez claims the act of contrition is an orchestrated move.

“I thought Suarez might be off Barcelona’s agenda, following the bite, but they took it as an advantage,” she added. “They thought they would get a discount on buying him.

“The apology is part of Barcelona’s plan to sign him.”
