Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has reiterated his opinion that Real Madrid star Federico Valverde reminds him of Reds icon Steven Gerrard amid rumours over a move to Anfield.
The Uruguayan midfielder has sparkled at the Santiago Bernabeu over recent seasons having played a key role in two La Liga victories, as well as the Champions League success last term. His form in the Spanish capital, as well as in the showpiece European final against the Reds in the summer, saw Valverde garner plenty of admirers - Liverpool being among those.
AS suggested that the Merseyside outfit were willing to fork out up to £87m on Valverde in an attempt to bolster their midfield options. In the end, a move did not come to fruition with Juventus playmaker Arthur Melo arriving at Anfield on a season-long loan deal instead.
