Luis Suarez Reveals His Reasons for Leaving to Liverpool, Not Arsenal

DBasia.news –  The 2012/13 season will be remembered as Luis Suarez’s best season at Liverpool. In terms of personal notes, Suarez scored 30 goals for the Reds.

The man who now serves as the Rangers manager told Suarez if he chooses to stay with the Reds, then the chance to join big European clubs such as Bayern Munchen, Barcelona and Real Madrid is increasingly wide open.

“I actually forced myself to leave for Arsenal, but Gerrard told me ‘I promise that if you stay at Liverpool, you will be able to move to Bayern, Barca, Real Madrid or any team you want. Going to Arsenal is just a setback , “Suarez was quoted from Sky Sports.

Gerrard’s words came true, after closing the 2013/14 season with Liverpool by scoring 31 goals, Suarez finally officially left Anfield Stadium to join the Spanish giants, Barcelona.
