Following a controversial season speculation was rife over an impending departure for the striker, but the Anfield club board member has moved to dispel any rumours
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has insisted that the “popular” Luis Suarez will not be leaving the club.
The Uruguay international has had a tumultuous season after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, resulting in speculation that the striker was looking to leave England.
Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain are rumoured to be interested in acquiring Suarez’s services, but Ayre has disregarded all reports of an impending departure.
"Listen, he's got a contract until 2016. He has said he wants to stay. I am sure [director of football] Damien [Comolli] will be speaking to his agent”, Ayre told reporters.
"Who wouldn't want Luis Suarez? He is absolutely fantastic. He is such a popular member of our team.
"But they are the things we talk about behind closed doors, and we will further that discussion when it is right and proper.
"Luis is a vital and important part of our set-up, and long may that continue."
