Suarez signs long-term contract with Liverpool
Deal is reportedly for four and-a-half years and worth £200,000 per week for the striker over the final four years
Striker Luis Suarez has ensured there will be no January repeat of the transfer wrangling that dogged him in the close season by signing a new long-term contract with Liverpool, the Premier League club said.
Suarez, who has scored 17 goals in a blistering start to the campaign, thanked fans and cited their support since he returned to action following a 10-game ban for biting as a key factor in his decision.
“Without doubt the backing I have received from the Liverpool fans has influenced my decision. I am so proud to represent them and go out to do my best for them every time I pull on the shirt.
“We have a special relationship; they have love for me and in return I love them back. I will always do my best for them and hopefully we can achieve success together.”
Luis is a world-class talent and securing his services is crucial for what we are trying to achieve
The BBC reported the deal to be for four and-a-half years and worth £200,000 (HK$2.53 million) per week to Suarez over the final four years of the contract and £160,000 per week until the end of this season.
