Luis Suarez 'allowed' to talk to Arsenal

Luis Suarez 'allowed' to talk to Arsenal 

Liverpool has allowed its striker Luis Suarez to hold talks with Arsenal after £40m bid.

However, it has also been made clear that Liverpool have no intention of selling their striker until his £50m-plus valuation is met.

Earlier, Arsenal's club-record bid of £40m plus £1 was firmly rejected by Liverpool but Suarez now wants to hold talks with the north London club.

While Liverpool remain determined to keep Suarez, who scored 30 goals for the club in 44 appearances last season, their resolve is likely to be tested if the bids continue to rise. Should Arsenal persist and have an improved bid accepted, it would more than double their previous highest initial outlay on a transfer.
