Gerrard knew Suarez was leaving after the Chiellini bite…
Liverpool’s skipper Steven Gerrard reckons that Luis Suarez’s bite on Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup was a tool to force a move through to Barcelona, reports the Mirror.
The Uruguayan did move to the Spanish giants for an enormous £75m fee, and Gerrard reckons the switch was inevitable after the shocking bite.
“I thought we would have got another year out of him. I was actually on the floor when I saw the footage of the bite because England had just gone out,” said the legendary midfielder.
“I knew there was no way back for him then, really. I knew he was going to engineer a way out.”
