Barcelona is still offering an escape route to Liverpool's Luis Suarez despite his World Cup bite scandal.
Barca are ready to offer Chile World Cup star Alexis Sanchez to Liverpool as part of an 80 million-pound player-plus-cash deal despite Suarez biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 on Tuesday.
According to the Mirror, Suarez is facing a lengthy ban from FIFA after his bust-up with Chiellini as TV pictures show him taking a bite out of the defender's shoulder mid-match.
Speculations are that Barca's arch-rivals Real Madrid have let go of their interest in Suarez after the striker's latest embarrassment but the Catalans are still keen on bagging the Liverpool star.
Barcelona could even put Spain winger Pedro into the deal too, and if they meet Liverpool's valuation then Suarez would reportedly turn his back on English football to join the La Liga side.
