BRENDAN RODGERS TRYING TO CONVINCE LUIS SUAREZ TO TURN DOWN ARSENAL AND CHELSEA

ABOVE: Luis Suarez: Where will he end up?

BRENDAN RODGERS is holding crunch talks with Luis Suarez to try and convince him to stay at Liverpool.

Suarez, 26, has made clear he wants to leave Anfield in a series of interviews over the summer.
Real Madrid are favourites to sign the Uruguayan while Arsenal and Chelsea have also been linked with moves.
Rodgers told talkSPORT: "Over the course of the last few months and towards the end of the season there has been a lot of speculation with Luis.
"But the fact is it remains the same - we value the player. He had a terrific season for us last year and showed his qualities.
"Since then I've been in communication with him through texts and conversations on the phone and it [the situation] is pretty much the same.
"He is a valued player. He is an absolute magician on the field."
Suarez netted 30 goals last season and signed a four-year contract extension in August.
Liverpool value their prized asset at around £40m.

Rodgers added: "Luis is a real competitor, a real winner.
"He wants Liverpool to do so well but, like every player, every manager, and more importantly every football club, they want to be working at the very highest level.
"At the minute he is on a break, he is relaxing with his family.
"We are in constant communication. He has got three years left on his contract, we don't want to sell him, and we hope everything will be fine for the summer.
"We want to bring in few more players to reinforce the group and we think we can put up a real fight next season."
