According to the report, Suarez is believed to prefer Real Madrid but Arsenal may be willing to top with 35million pounds while the Spanish giants have yet to make a firm approach.
The report said that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers had insisted publicly that Suarez is not for sale and Arsenal would surely have to meet the 40million pounds price, if they wanted to acquire him.
