Suarez urges Liverpool to let him switch clubs

LIVERPOOL, England - Luis Suarez on Tuesday accused Liverpool of breaking an agreement in his contract by refusing to let him leave Anfield, saying he had been promised permission to join another club if the Reds failed to reach the Champions League.

In his first public comments since Arsenal made a ￡40 million ($61.2 million) bid for the Uruguay striker, Suarez told British newspaper The Guardian on Tuesday that he is ready to take his case to the Premier League, and called on Liverpool to “honor our agreement.”

His comments may increase the pressure on Liverpool to reach a deal for the disgruntled player, and will likely boost Arsenal’s hopes of signing the kind of top-class attacking talent the club has been going after this offseason. AP
