Carlo Ancelotti’s side are battling for La Liga and Champions League crowns and the Italian wants to further improve his attack by bringing in Suarez to form the centre point of a attacking trio that would see Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo on either side of the former Ajax man.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez believes he can lure Suarez and will hope that a significant bid will lead to the striker demanding an Anfield exit this summer.
The Spanish giants will offer £50m plus midfielder Isco and left-back Fabio Coentrao in return for Suarez, knowing that the addition of the duo could well interest boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Northern Irish manager would be loathed to lose Suarez but if he is to see the prized asset leave then a huge cash sum plus two proven talents could well ease such a loss.
Rodgers is known to be an admirer of Isco, who could serve as a long term replacement for Steven Gerrard.
The 22 year old Spanish international secured a high profile move to Real Madrid after impressing at Malaga and though he has been in and out of the starting eleven this term the youngster has still managed to rack up 11 goals and five assists in all competitions and is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Europe.
Coentrao could offer Liverpool further strength on the left hand side of their defence with injured Spanish Jose Enrique likely to be sold in the summer.
John Flanagan has been excellent used in a makeshift role on the left but Rodgers would rather make use of his services in his more regular role on the right.
Fabio Coentrao is an attack minded wing-back who’s experience at the highest level could be invaluable, not least during the club’s return to the Champions League fold.
Luis Suarez has netted 30 Premier League goals this season and is also the English top tier’s leading assist maker and arguably the most in-form player in Europe right now.
Though Real Madrid were happy to break the world transfer record to land Gareth Bale last summer they are keen to use players in any deal to land Suarez so as to keep costs down whilst also attempting to adhere to UEFA’s FFP (Financial Fair Play) guidelines.
