Suarez set to spark £100MILLION battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona... and Gerrard to quit England after the World Cup
Real Madrid are poised to start their usual leaking tactics to pile pressure on Liverpool and Luis Suarez. Madrid, who missed out on the La Liga title but face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, have a strategy of luring Galacticos by applying constant, but unofficial, 'come and join us' messages via the media.
The Spanish daily sports papers tend to be their prime tool. But as this column revealed last week Madrid face a battle not only to persuade Liverpool to sell and Suarez to agree to leave but also head off Barcelona’s interest too.
Gerrard to bid farewell to England after World Cup
Steven Gerrard is set to quit England after the World Cup - whatever the outcome in Brazil.
The Liverpool midfielder leads Roy Hodgson’s squad into the tournament as skipper and recognises that to play on for the next two years - having just extended his contract to 2016 – he won’t be able to continue at international level.
Last week Brendan Rodgers backed Gerrard to bounce back from the disappointment of Liverpool’s title failure as they compete in the Champions League for the first time in years.
