Luis Suarez is ready to discuss his future with Liverpool,
writes Dean Jones of the Sunday People .
Agent Pere Guardiola is planning a trip to Merseyside before the end of the year for talks with club representatives about improving the Uruguayan’s deal.
Suarez is set to complete his transformation from sinner to saint by being made Liverpool captain today in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard.
In the summer he desperately pushed for a transfer – but since the window closed he has bagged 15 goals this season, inspiring the Reds to challenge for the title.
Suarez is understood to have promised boss Brendan Rodgers he will not leave in January.
But discussions over his contract would give the Suarez camp an opportunity to add new clauses.
Staying put: Rodgers has been told Suarez will not be going anywhere in January
One factor certain to be discussed is a significant rise on his current financial agreement of around £120,000-a-week if Liverpool finish in the top four.
Barcelona and Real Madrid both want to sign him and, after the controversy over the £40million release clause that sparked Arsenal to make a summer bid, it is possible a new higher transfer trigger fee could be inserted.
Madrid, Suarez’s preferred choice, seems the most likely destination when he does eventually leave.
