Suarez exit talk ignored

Manager Brendan Rodgers brushed off concerns about Luis Suarez’s future by claiming comments made on international duty have “no great relevance to Liverpool”.

Ahead of World Cup qualifiers last week the 26-year-old gave an interview in his homeland which appeared to suggest he would listen to offers from Champions League clubs.

The Reds’ managing director Ian Ayre was quick to dismiss the comments as getting lost in translation but Rodgers claims he paid them no attention.
