Arsene Wenger claims there is little he can do to make Suarez move happen as his dispute with Liverpool continues.
Arsenal made a bid of £40m plus one pound thinking it would be enough to trigger the Uruguayan’s release clause. The bid, however, was rejected and Suarez, who wants to leave Anfield, is complaining about Rodgers not keeping a promise.
According to the striker, Brendan Rodgers had made a promise allowing him to leave if Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League. Suarez is now prepared to take legal actions and so far there has been no talk about handing in a transfer request.
Wenger has admitted that there is not much he can do but wait.
“At the moment the situation is on standby. I heard that Suarez is considering legal action to force a move, but this is sometimes linked with things that you don’t know as a potential buyer,” Wenger said to Al Jazeera Sport.
“That is the story between Suarez and Liverpool and I don’t know what has been said, what has been promised and what has been written and that is only Suarez and Liverpool that can decide that.
“It is nothing to do with us. We have been told that the player wants to leave Liverpool and that is why we have acted.
“I really don’t know what will be decided by Liverpool.”
