Developments

Both clubs are willing to negotiate around €60m rather than paying Suarez's reported release clause, though they will not begin negotiations until after World Cup.
Liverpool and Newcastle are intensifying their interest in Sporting CP striker Luis Suárez with reports suggesting an intense battle for his release clause of approximately £70 million.
