I think Luis is a very rare breed, he loves playing football. He reminds me of the kid in the street when playing for LFC such is his enthusiasm. Hopefully this will trump the lure of higher profile football for one more season at least.

Saying that, I don't think I would begrudge him a move in the summer but I don't think it will happen.

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has cast doubt over his future at the club by admitting he would be interested in a move to Bayern Munich in the summer.

Suarez has been heavily linked with Bayern, following the news that Pep Guardiola will take over as manager at the end of the season.

It is thought that Guardiola could use his football agent brother Pere, who represents Suarez, to help make the Uruguayan striker his first signing in Germany, and the player himself is doing little to discourage the talk, admitting he would like to talk to the Germans if an offer arrives.

‘If Bayern Munich makes an offer I would certainly be willing to listen and think about it,’ said Suarez.

‘It doesn’t mean I will definitely leave, it just means that I will not automatically reject other clubs.’

Suarez is currently enjoying one of his best seasons since joining Liverpool from Ajax in 2011, having scored 26 goals in 38 matches so far and picked up eight assists.

But as the Reds continue to falter in their quest to reach the top four, a transfer could be on the cards, despite Suarez only signing a new contract last August.

The 26-year-old would likely cost in excess of £40million.

Brendan Rodgers is adamant Luis Suarez will stay at Liverpool even if they miss out on Europe.

Liverpool are in danger of failing to qualify and they need to finish fifth to guarantee a Europa League place next season.

Rodgers is unconcerned that Suarez will demand to leave if they fall short and says the striker’s agent has told him he is happy at Anfield.

“There’s no getting away from it, Luis has been brilliant this year, but I haven’t seen anything different that would make me feel he wouldn’t be here,” said the Reds boss.

“I had a great conversation with his agent a couple of weeks ago. He came in and rolled it out that he was so happy here and he was keen over the next couple of years for the club to progress.

“I’ve made him sort of my architect within the group. Him and I communicate a lot so I get a feeling. It’s not like I don’t talk to him.

“Is he deserving of that Champions League level? Of course he is, but I would be confident enough that he will be here because he is enjoying his football.

“He’s playing well, he’s doing really well. Hopefully we continue to keep a great player like that.”

Rodgers is delighted with the 25-goal Suarez and claims the Uruguayan star remains as committed to Liverpool as he was last summer when he agreed a long-term deal.

“Luis has been phenomenal, and that’s not just the opinion of his manager,” he said.

“His desire is to see Liverpool progress and that’s why he signed last summer. I don’t feel, or see, anything different that would change my mind.

“This is a club that he loves. He is enjoying working this way. If we can keep supporting him and getting the team moving forward, then he seems happy and content.”

Pere Guardiola, Suarez's agent, has has had a "great conversation" with Rodgers & informed him that @LFC's No 7 is "so happy here"
