By The Gaffer on March 20, 2013

Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has given his strongest indication yet that he would be open to a possible move to a more successful club.

In recent years, Liverpool have struggled to compete for the Champions League spots. Former manager Kenny Dalglish brought in Luis Suarez after the Reds allowed Fernando Torres to join Chelsea in January 2011. Ultimately, this is the decision that has helped the former Champions League regulars stay in contention in the Premier League.

Suarez has been in prolific form this season with 22 goals in 29 league appearances. Only Messi, Ronaldo, and Ibrahimovic have scored more in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Truly impressive.

But, with any individual success, team success usually follows. Barring the opportunistic Carling Cup win in 2011/12 season, Liverpool have struggled to even be Merseyside’s best team.

Luis Suarez, while on international duty with Uruguay, said:

“A player’s ambition is always there, the ambition of wanting to play in elite teams is always there. I’m in a world-class team, an elite team like Liverpool. We have to realise we have a new manager who is imposing a philosophy and a way of playing that the players are adapting to as best we can. We hope it will bear fruit next year.

“If another team comes around with more prospects of competing in international club competition games, which is willing to have me, they are welcome. We would talk to the club. We would see if I want to go, if I don’t want to go.”

Can Liverpool match Luis Suarez’s success?
