Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen to make wantaway Liverpool striker Luis Suarez his "galactico" centre-forward to complete manager Carlo Ancelotti's new-look team.

 

The Spanish giants were linked with Uruguayan during the summer as Los Merengues, Arsenal and Bayern Munich all led the chase for the player.

However, sources in Spain said Perez, who is also tracking Monaco's ex-Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao, is keen to "take advantage" of a marquee player not playing European football. Both Suarez and Falcao "fit that bill".

It is understood Real even agreed a deal with Liverpool in the summer but such were the internal politics and in-fighting at Anfield between Suarez and his bosses, the player dropped off the radar as Real switched their attention to signing £86 million forward Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Real are looking at coming back with a £45m+ bid for Suarez in January.

A source said: "It's only a matter of time [when Suarez leaves Liverpool] and Real are the ones most likely to pay anywhere near the £50m asking price."

Suarez is still serving a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic at the end of last season.
