Manchester United "ready to pay £135 mln to sign Luis Suarez"

Manchester United are reportedly lining up an improbable move for world-class ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, Liverpool Kop reports.

According to Spanish daily Don Balon today:

"Man Utd and Man City are both hoping to lure Luis Suarez back to England, with Man United prepared to splash out as much as £135 million."

When asked in February about a future transfer back to the Premier League, Suarez told reporters:

"You never know what will happen in the future. If I was to return to England, it would be to play for Liverpool – not for any other team. I’ve missed the fans. The atmosphere is incredible".

Suarez claims he'll never play for another team in England, but in many cases, a footballer's public comments are not worth the air into which they're uttered.

In any event, a return to the Premier League appears to be off the table as earlier this month, Suarez insisted:

"I hope I can finish my career at Barcelona".
