Suarez has been linked with a sensational move to Arsenal having telling reporters that he is unhappy at Anfield and ready to seal a switch to another club.<br />

With Real Madrid amongst the teams interested, Suarez has had no shortage of suitors. The controversial forward is eagerly waiting to see if Liverpool and Arsenal can agree on a fee.<br />

However, Liverpool manager Rodgers has confirmed that the current offer falls short of his true valuation for Suarez.<br />

"There has been lots of speculation about Luis moving to another club but he is very much a Liverpool player," said Rodgers.<br /><br />"We had an offer that was nowhere near what we value him at. Of course, he wants to work and play at the top level.<br /><br />"But unless something drastic happens, he will be staying here. He has got three years left on his contract.<br /><br />"He is a wonderful player, and still very much a Liverpool player. No matter who the player is, nobody is bigger than Liverpool Football Club.<br /><br />"But Luis is a very important member of this squad and I am looking forward to working with him again this season."
