Reds Managing director Ian Ayre has flown to Barcelona for talks with the Uruguay striker's agent Pere Guardiola, brother of Bayern Munich manager Pep.

The move comes after Sunday's 5-0 win at Spurs when Suarez was handed the Liverpool captaincy in in the absence of injured skipper Steven Gerrard, where Suarez scored twice.

But Hamann has warned they'll be no point in signing a new deal unless Suarez is fully committed to the future of the club.

“The way he is playing at the moment you have got think he is very happy, but you have got to be careful because the team is on a good run.

“It was probably the most impressive performance from any team this season on Sunday [in beating Tottenham 5-0]. They have been absolutely fantastic and in this form you have to think they will finish in the top four, but things can change.

“What must not happen is we have a situation next summer as we had last summer.

"He could sign a new contract now, take the £200,000 a week, the team finishes outside the top four and you have the same shenanigans.

“I want him to stay, but there needs to be clarity. He has got to understand what it means to commit.

Before adding during the talkSPORT discussion: "If there is a clause that he can go for £60million, £80million and someone pays it, that is obviously fair enough, but you can’t have a situation again like you had last summer.”
