Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre says that the club fully expect Luis Suarez to remain at Anfield beyond the summer.

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has insisted that the club fully expect striker Luis Suarez to remain at Anfield beyond the summer.

Fresh doubt over the Uruguayan's future on Merseyside arose last night when the 26-year-old was quoted as saying that he is open to offers from clubs in the Champions League.

When asked on BBC Breakfast whether he was confident of keeping Suarez at Liverpool, Ayre replied: "Yes, absolutely. We love Luis being at Liverpool, he loves being at Liverpool and we fully expect him to be at Liverpool next season.

"He has a four-year contract. We hope he will see it through. We have no desire to sell Luis. He is a fantastic player and a great contributor to our team.

"We have been honest with him and he has been honest with us and there will always be instances, particularly leading up to the summer, where people are quoted or asked these questions, but we are very pleased to have Luis and long may that continue. Every player will be approached by clubs because that is the nature of the game and every player has a choice."

Recent reports have claimed that Bayern Munich, who will be led by former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola next season, are interested in signing the striker.
