Luis Suarez linked with sensational Liverpool transfer return this summer if Mo Salah leaves as Klopp eyes strikers

LIVERPOOL are interested in a sensational reunion with Luis Suarez, according to reports.

The Uruguayan left Anfield for Barcelona in 2014, after scoring 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Reds.

And following six stellar years, the striker moved on again, this time to Atletico Madrid.

But according to Fichajes, his next destination could be a familiar one.

They claim that Jurgen Klopp is seeking a further option upfront, in addition to current stars Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota.

And a pursuit of Suarez, 34, could be hastened, should Salah depart this summer.

The former Kop hero left Barcelona under a cloud last year, having been forced out by now-ousted club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

But he has shown that he has still got it at Atletico.

The prolific star has scored 19 goals in 25 LaLiga appearances this term.

He could be affordable come the summer, however, with his Atletico contract only due to run until 2022.

Suarez initially joined Liverpool from Ajax in January 2011, costing the Reds around £22.8million.

He was quickly a revelation, albeit a deeply controversial one – being found guilty of racial abuse by an FA panel, as well as a bite on Branislav Ivanovic.

In his final astonishing season with the Reds, he scored 31 goals and assisted a further 17 as Brendan Rodgers’ side came within a whisker of winning the Premier League.

With Barcelona, he won four LaLiga titles and a Champions League.

And he recently bagged his 500th career goal against Alaves.
