Speculation linking Luis Suarez with a move to Real Madrid have increased after Italian Carlo Ancelotti admitted that he is a fan of the Liverpool striker. Ancelotti led Madrid to the 10th European title, thus becoming one of the few managers to have won the Champions League three times. Even more important is that he led Madrid to the 10th European title, which they have been chasing for such a long period. As a result, Ancelotti said to enjoy a high status within the club. This is set to work in the transfer market as well.

It is widely expected that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will sanction a bid for any player Ancelotti wants in his team. It is thought that Suarez is high on the list. The Spanish outfit wanted to sign the Uruguay striker last summer, but an official offer was never made. Even though the 27-year-old signed a new contract only a few months ago, it is believed that Madrid have been contacting Suarez on a number of occasions recently. Ancelotti recently confirmed that the club are not planning to make any signings before the World Cup.

It is expected that Real will begin negotiations after the World Cup. Suarez scored more than 30 goals in the league last season. “Luis Suarez is a fantastic player, high quality and very good, but to speak about other things [transfers] is to show a lack of respect. It is impossible to improve Real Madrid’s attack because it has Cristiano, Benzema, Bale, Jese. The squad is very good and we are very competitive. If we can improve, which won’t be easy, we will, but if we keep those we have I would be happy. This group has won two cups and will be very competitive next year,” said Ancelotti.
