Kop boss Rodgers claimed Suarez owed Liverpool and their fans for backing him after he dragged the club’s name through the mud.

But his comments have instead left the striker fuming.

And rather than make him think twice about quitting Anfield, Suarez is understood to be even more determined to leave.

The 26-year-old star and his camp believe he has earned that support, especially with his performances last year.

The Uruguayan scored 30 club goals last season, becoming Liverpool’s talisman in the process.

So he was less than impressed at his own manager referring to his past misdemeanours and, in his view, using them against him.

Rodgers had said: “The support he has received from the supporters and the people of the city of Liverpool has been unrivalled.

“In this period of time he’s missed a lot of games for the club through various reasons. The people have stood by him, like a son and really looked after him.

“Whatever happens in the coming weeks that will be in his mind because it’s something you can never forget.”

Arsenal this week tabled a cheeky bid of £1 over £40m. Liverpool say Suarez can go for £50m but would prefer to sell him abroad.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with him and Liverpool would accept cash plus a player, possibly striker Karim Benzema.

The Gunners are hoping to offload flop Gervinho and are in talks with Roma over a £7m move.
