Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez is refusing to give up on a 40 million pounds transfer to Arsenal after he claims that Liverpool promised to let him go if they missed out on the coming season's Champions League.
According to the Mirror, the Reds are alleged to have said they would entertain bids for the striker from big London sides, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
