Dutch giants not to take action over Liverpool bid
Ajax have decided not to report Liverpool to Fifa over their pursuit of Luis Suarez following reports in Holland they were unhappy with the Reds' conduct.
Liverpool director of football strategy Damien Comolli was in Amsterdam on Monday to try and broker a deal.
But the move remains at an impasse with Liverpool's offer reported to be €15milion, half of what Ajax would ideally want.
Any chance of Ryan Babel being included in the deal appear to have fallen by the wayside with confirmation that he is set to tie up a deal with Hoffenheim.
Ajax appeared less than amused with Liverpool's approach with claims they have already approached Suarez's agent Pere Guardiola, brother of Barcelona coach Pep, before being given permission.
But reports the Dutch club are thinking of reporting Liverpool are wide of the mark after a spokesman told
Sky Sports News: "We are not considering a complaint towards Uefa or Fifa."
Insistent
Ajax are insistent that they are standing firm over their valuation of the Uruguayan striker, who is currently serving a suspension.
"We'll have to wait for them to come back with something more respectful," an Ajax spokesman is quoted as saying by
The Guardian.
"We want to keep him - at least until the end of the season and preferably for the rest of his contract. If you compare the €15million Liverpool want to pay for Suarez with other transfers you can imagine that it's far too low for us.
"Luis is our top goalscorer for the last three years and also the man with by far the most assists as well. He was one of the big guys for Uruguay in helping them come third in the World Cup in the summer and he still has a contract with us for two-and-a-half years."
