Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez
Liverpool have held constructive talks with Luis Suarez's agent as speculation over the striker's future rumbles on.
Pere Guardiola flew to Merseyside to meet Reds managing director Ian Ayre at the club's city centre offices yesterday before heading for Melwood to see manager Brendan Rodgers.
The ECHO understands that the dialogue was both “positive” and “amicable”.
Anfield officials have always enjoyed a good working relationship with the agent, who is the brother of new Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola, and that remains the case.
There was no backtracking from the agent following Suarez's public declarations in South America that he would jump at the opportunity to quit English football this summer and sign for Real Madrid.
However, no transfer request was submitted by Guardiola – a sign that his Uruguayan client, who is on holiday following the Confederations Cup, is not currently prepared to try to force through a move.
During the discussions both Ayre and Rodgers reiterated the club's position that they want Suarez to stay at Anfield and aren't interested in selling the 26-year-old, who is under contract for a further three years.
Guardiola's trip to Merseyside came just hours after it emerged that Liverpool had rejected a £30million offer for Suarez from Arsenal.

However, the ECHO understands the timing was simply a coincidence with yesterday's talks having already been scheduled before the Gunners made their approach.
Guardiola gave no indication to Liverpool that a move to the Emirates would interest Suarez, who has always insisted that his treatment at the hands of the UK press was his pressing reason for wanting to part company with the Reds.
Sources in London suggest Arsenal are highly unlikely to increase their offer.
Having became frustrated in their attempts to wrap up a £23million deal with Real Madrid for Gonzalo Higuain, Arsene Wenger has been looking at alternative striking options with the Gunners having also contacted Manchester United recently over Wayne Rooney.
However, Arsenal's bid for Suarez was instantly dismissed and they have been left in no doubt that Liverpool aren't interested in selling their prized asset, especially to one of their domestic rivals.
The Reds, who value Suarez at around £45million to £50million, are keen to ensure that the speculation doesn't drag on until the end of the transfer window.
But with Real Madrid yet to firm up their interest and with no guarantees they would prepared to stump up that kind of fee, a resolution to the summer-long saga appears to be some way off.
Suarez is due back from his holidays on July 22 and is expected to be involved in the Melbourne and Bangkok legs of the club's pre-season tour.
The importance of retaining Suarez's services has increased after Liverpool missed out on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, their top summer transfer target.
The attacking midfielder has agreed a four-year deal with Borussia Dortmund who will pay Shakhtar Donetsk around £21million.
Meanwhile, Reds midfielder Jay Spearing is considering interest from Blackburn Rovers.
The Championship outfit have agreed in principle a £1.75million deal for the 24-year-old but they have to sell a player – most likely full-back Martin Olsson – in order to finance the transfer.
As Blackburn look to free up sufficient cash, Spearing is waiting to discover if there are any other offers on the table as he would ideally want to stay in the Premier League.

Latest rumours linking him with Jose Mourinho for 40Mil.
If he joins an English club, Suarez should warrant an entry in the English Language for an additional definition of the word 'hypocrite'.
Especially when he's said the torment from the english media is the main reason he wants to leave.

The one good thing about the Chavs getting interested is that it will ensure Madrid pay what he's worth.
On the plus side, at least the goofy twat's not hiding behind the Mrs as an excuse like Mascherano.

Chelsea are preparing a huge bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez according to the latest reports.
Following Arsenal’s failed £30 million bid for the player, Jose Mourinho could be ready to table an offer of £40 million for the Uruguayan striker as he looks to add more firepower to his squad ahead of next season.
Suarez has been linked with several moves away from Anfield this summer despite the official stance coming out of Anfield, which has always been that he’s not for sale.

Huge? 40 million? Fuck off.
40m plus that lad that went back to them from loan will do me.
Personally I think it is a very well orchestrated covert plan between Luis and the club to get the press to back off
He now wants to go to Real, is the top and bottom of it. The bit about the press etc.is just so much window-dressing - for sure he hasn't enjoyed all that, but I doubt it's really worried him either, and without previous reports of interest from the Bernabeu I doubt we'd be seeing any of this.

So he's basically seen no one come in for him apart from Arsenal and Chelsea and has changed his tune to state his reason for wanting out is because he wants Champions League football.
I think he'll be fine with them until we beat the Chavs then all hell will break loose.
He's from Uragauy. He's already abroad.
Its far more likely nobody will want to stump up 50 million on him than it is he will be won over by the outpouring of man love for him in Bangkok
