Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre claims the club will not open fresh contract negotiations with Luis Suarez until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool chairman Tom Werner believes Suarez can achieve his ambition of regular Champions League football by staying at Anfield. There was interest in him from other clubs throughout the summer but it was important for us to try to keep him. "He is one of the great players of the world and we felt that we would be a stronger club with him than without him. "That does not mean I don't respect his intense desire to play in the Champions League. But it would be a very happy day next May if and when we get to the Champions League by finishing in the top four and he is part of it. "It is our intention to keep him for a while. Our intention is to build a winning club and he is integral to that. The past is the past and I have great affection for him personally."
