Suarez Liverpool talks accelerate

Liverpool's courting of Ajax and Uruguay star Luis Suarez appears to be nearing its climax, as club owner John Henry and his wife Linda Pizzuti were photographed at dinner with Suarez's agent, Pere Guardiola on Tuesday night in London.

According to Daily Mail, talks at thedinner "accelerated" over the proposed deal, with Metro adding that the meeting suggested that a deal would be done in a matter of days.

Frank De Boer, boss of Suarez's current club, Ajax, still isn't so convinced that a transfer is imminent.

"Luis feels good and is training well, I don't think he will leave at any cost," he said, also adding that "only when an absurd amount is on the table should we let him go."

That "absurd" value is said to be £27 million ($43.18 million), the fee paid for former Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, but Liverpool is said to think that Suarez can be acquired for just £15 million ($24 million).

Regardless of fee, it does appear that Suarez is keen on a move to Anfield and that Liverpool leadership and ownership are actively working through such a transaction.
