Liverpool know the price they must pay to land Ajax striker Luis Suarez.
The Uruguay international is said to have told his agent to sound out potential suitors over a move in January - with Liverpool and Tottenham apparently registering their interest - after the departure of Martin Jol from the Amsterdam Arena compounded his current misery.
The 23-year-old is thought to be valued at around 27 million but - with Ajax deep in the financial mire - the Dutch club are expected to settle for a reduced sum.
Suarez's form this season has also seen his price drop.
