Uruguayan happy at Atletico
Diego Forlan has admitted it would take a 'really good offer' to lure him away from Atletico Madrid because he is happy at the club.
The Uruguay striker has been linked with a return to the Premier League since shining at the World Cup last summer, but a move failed to materialise before the start of the season or in January.
He concedes it would be wrong to rule out a move in future but insists there is currently no immediate prospect of a transfer.
Forlan also maintains that he is enjoying life at the Vicente Calderon, where he is under contract until 2013.
"It would have to be a really good offer. At the moment there is none, so I didn't consider anything," said the 31-year-old.
"But at the moment, I have two years more of a contract at Atletico Madrid and it's a good team and I am happy there. You never know."
Ireland test
Forlan's current focus is on Tuesday's friendly against the Republic of Ireland, and he is determined to inspire Uruguay to victory.
He said: "They played a qualifying game on Saturday and some of the players have been playing a lot of games and have been rested.
"But we came here to play a nice game against Ireland. It doesn't matter who they are playing, we are going to do our best to win the game.
"I know the team, I have been watching some games and we are always watching players. We know it will be a really tough team with good players.
"It doesn't matter whether they are young or old, every player all over the world when they get the chance to play for their national team is going to try to do their best. In this case we expect that."
Uruguay arrived in Dublin to be greeted by bright sunshine, a far cry from the conditions they found in Tallinn on Friday night as they slipped to a surprise 2-0 defeat by Estonia.
The game was played in freezing temperatures and with snow falling, and while there was a chill in the air at the Aviva Stadium the following evening, Forlan admitted the conditions when he and his team-mates trained there were far more to his liking.
He said: "This is like summer for us after being in Estonia, where it was really freezing.
"We played quite well in the first half, but in the second half, the pitch was very hard and it was difficult for us."
Suarez praise
Uruguay will be without injured Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, but the man who played alongside him at last summer's World Cup finals in South Africa has not been at all surprised by how quickly he has found his feet in the English game since his £22.8million January move to Anfield.
"I'm really happy for him. He's a good friend and he's at a good club," said former Manchester United striker Forlan.
"The way he is doing it now is really nice and I hope he will continue doing that.
"I think he's a great player - he showed that at the World Cup and with Ajax. He has this opportunity and now he is doing really well."
