'The Sun' claims that Real Madrid is willing to offer up to £40 million to sign Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez from Liverpool. The offer from 'Los Blancos' would exceed Arsenal's bid for the Charrúa forward - a €30 million bid that was turned down by the Anfield club.

According to 'The Sun', the striker would consider the offer made by Real, which would be over €46 million. "My agent is in charge, he knows what I want. It is good to know I am valued by teams like Arsenal. Now there are two or three options and the club knows that".

The English newspaper claims that the player's agent, Pere Guardiola, met current Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on Monday to inform him of the striker's desire to leave the club for a team in the Champions League next season.

'The Sun' alleges that Real Madrid is now the clear favourite to sign the Uruguayan goal-scorer, who has shown his admiration for the Spanish side on numerous occasions. On Tuesday, the striker revealed to the Uruguayan press that although he was due to train with 'The Reds', "a phone call would change everything". It seems his intentions are clear.
