Liverpool have rewarded their star striker Luis Suarez with a bumper, four and a half year new contract – making him the highest paid player in the club’s history.
According to BBC Sport, and other mainstream media outlets, Suarez will earn £160,000 per week for the remainder of this season, rising to £200,000 per week for the four years after.
Whether a release clause has been included in the deal isn’t sure, but is expected.
Suarez is quoted on the official LFC website explaining:
“I am delighted to have agreed a new deal with Liverpool and have my future secured for the long term.
“We have some great players and the team is growing and improving all the time. I believe I can achieve the ambitions of winning trophies and playing at the very highest level with Liverpool. My aim is to help get us there as quickly as possible.
“Without doubt the backing I have received from the Liverpool fans has influenced my decision. I am so proud to represent them and go out to do my best for them every time I pull on the shirt.
“We have a special relationship; they have love for me and in return I love them back. I will always do my best for them and hopefully we can achieve success together.”
News of Suarez’s deal comes out of the blue, ahead of Saturday’s match with Cardiff – which can put Brendan Rodgers‘ side top of the Premier League with victory.
Suarez, of course, has been in sensational form this season, scoring 17 goals in just 11 appearances.
