Liverpool Transfer News: Juventus Renew Luis Suarez Interest?

by Joseph Dempsey

Express. The Uruguayan has been the target of frenzied transfer speculation ever since January despite having signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool last August. However, the Italians are set to test the Red's resolve by making a bid for the striker in the summer. Incoming Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is also said to be a keen admirer and the newly crowned German champions could be set to make a £50 million bid in the close season. Juventus chased Suarez last summer before the Uruguayan penned his new Reds deal, but now it appears they are set to reignite their interest and make a fresh swoop having apparently missed out on top target Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is said to be reluctant to swap cash-rich Paris Saint-Germain for Italy. Both sides were knocked out of the Champions League last night by Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, respectively. Suarez has been indispensable for Liverpool this season and currently tops the Premier League goal-scoring charts with 22 strikes to his name. He is also a candidate for this season's PFA Player of the Year award.
