"Liverpool" fans were delighted by an early Christmas gift on Friday afternoon. With the team led by Brendan Rodgers, forward Luis Suarez, who wanted to leave last summer, signed a new contract. During the summer transfer window, the Uruguayan publicly stated that he wanted to leave the club. At that time, London's "Arsenal" team was most interested in the footballer. However, "The Reds" manager B. Rodgers was not willing to sell the team's leader and convinced him to sign a new contract for the upcoming season. The controversial 26-year-old forward will play at Anfield Stadium until 2018 according to the terms of the new contract. L. Suarez moved to Liverpool in the winter of 2011. At that time, "Ajax" club received a 26.5 million euro compensation for the player. Now, the forward is valued at around 50 million euros.
