Liverpool brace for late Real Madrid bid for Suarez

Liverpool expect a late offer from Real Madrid for Luis Suarez.

The Mirror says Liverpool are bracing themselves for Real Madrid to make a raid for Suarez.

But the weary Anfield giants have again insisted they will not sell the striker.

Arsenal want Real forward Karim Benzema, and the £40million the Spanish giants would expect to receive for him will be used to fund a move for Suarez - a player they have long coveted.

"If we lose Luis at this stage... there might have been a point a few months ago where there was time to do it, but with 11 days to go it would be difficult to replace him," Reds boss Brendan Rodgers.
