During Friday's press conference before the friendly tournament "Emirates Cup 2013" happening this weekend, London's "Arsenal" manager Arsene Wenger spoke about possible team acquisitions.
With only 15 days left until the start of the season, the "gunners" have not made any signings yet, causing some impatience among the team's supporters.
Before the summer transfer window opened, the club's executive director Ivan Gazidis stated that this summer A. Wenger will have at least 70 million pounds to strengthen the team.
However, the only French addition to the London team is the 20-year-old forward Yaya Sanogo, who arrived from "Auxerre" as a free agent.
Lately, London's "Arsenal" club has been heavily linked with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, but "the Reds" are demanding more than 50 million pounds for him.
"I don't want to talk much about Suarez because it's between the Arsenal and Liverpool clubs. We will respect Liverpool's wishes. If it is possible to acquire him, we will try to do it in the most peaceful way possible," said the experienced manager.
"I believe that in the transfer market, you need to work confidentially, although in today's world, it's very difficult. But we are working on not only this transfer but also on several others," Wenger claimed.
According to press reports, Suarez reportedly prefers to join Real Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti is currently focused on luring Tottenham's midfielder Gareth Bale.
The Uruguayan national team player moved to Liverpool in the winter of 2011. At that time, Ajax received 26.5 million euros for him.
