Liverpool makes Suarez almost inaccessible with new whopping 100 mln-pound release clause

Liverpool has reportedly inked two staggering price tags in his new 10 million pounds-a-year contract extension- a whopping 100 million pounds for a foreign club and an even larger 130 million-pound tag for a Premier League side.

Those two numbers should price Suarez, who had a 40 million-pound price tag in his previous deal, out of a move from Anfield or even stop a repeat of the transfer talk last summer, and the only likely movers for Suarez, Real Madrid would have to top the sum they paid for Gareth Bale.

According to the Mirror, Suarez and his advisers wanted a 'sale' fee inserted in his new bumper five-year contract but the numbers are so high that they virtually take him off the market, although the valuation is a weight off the minds of the fans who have backed Suarez despite his problems earlier in the year.

 

But the two-tier valuation means that Suarez is unlikely to ever be sold to an English club directly from Liverpool, the report added.
