Liverpool set Luis Suarez a transfer ultimatum as Chelsea prepare bid
Liverpool have told Luis Suarez he has until the end of July to sort out his future or forget about a transfer away from Anfield this summer.
The bold ultimatum was put to Suarez as he flew out to South America this week to begin a three-week holiday, after competing in the Confederations Cup with Uruguay.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has already been informed the striker still intends to seek a move away, having announced his desire to leave Liverpool at a press conference last month.
But Rodgers is not willing to let the saga dominate the rest of the transfer window, and has reportedly made it clear to Suarez that he has until the end of July to sign for a new club or he will be forced to stay put until at least January.
Suarezs preferred move is believed to be to La Liga giants Real Madrid but they are yet to firm up their interest with a bid, and Chelsea has now emerged as a new option.
According to Spanish publication Marca, Blues boss Jose Mourinho is considering Suarez after failing to land Edinson Cavani, who is edging closer to a transfer to PSG.
Chelsea would be able to offer the 26-year-old lucrative terms to move to Stamford Bridge, but it is not clear whether Liverpool would sell the player to a Premier League rival.
Bayern Munich have previously been linked with Suarez, while betting was suspended on him joining Arsenal this week following a shock flurry of activity.
However, there are yet to be any formal offers on the table for Suarez.
