Full story: the Sun

What’s the story? Hang on. Real Madrid hijacking Arsenal’s bid for Suarez? Seriously?Does it make sense? Well, the Real interest is what caused Suarez to ask to leave Liverpool in the first place and Arsenal only bid on Suarez to either push Real into selling Higuain or to calm the fans down.Is the price right? Liverpool are supposed to want £50m, and so are unlikely to take £40m.Will it happen? 5/10 – I don’t think any one other than Real, Liverpool and Arsenal know what’s happening.
