In speaking to El Larguero the former Barcelona striker stated, “I am in Madrid waiting for the children to finish school and then I will make the best decision to compete and have a high level, which is the requirement of the World Cup”.
Suárez has been rumored to return to South America, or move to Liga MX, and MLS but the rugged striker has no intentions of leaving the European elite. “You laugh because there are people who tell you ‘It would be an offer…’ (China, Qatar, Arabia) but I don’t think about money, Europe is what calls you the most. They call you from South America, from Brazil, from Mexico, Argentina, but honestly my mentality is for the competitive level here (Europe), I have my head here”.
According to various reports even at 35 Luis Suárez has a lot to offer many teams in Europe and clubs ranging from Aston Villa, Ajax, Sevilla, and Inter Milan have all been connected to Luis Suárez.
Aston Villa could be an early contender for the striker given his great relationship with manager Steven Gerrard, but Ajax have also opened the doors to their once captain and the chance of Champions League soccer could lure the Uruguayan.
