Barcelona are ready to splash out on Ajax striker Luis Suarez.

Ajax chiefs have already declared this week they will listen to serious offers for the Uruguay international, who is currently Holland's top scorer.

Barcelona sources say the Treble champs are turning to Suarez after being frustrated in their attempt to land Robinho from Manchester City. While different players, Suarez can offer a similar attacking threat as Robinho, which is what coach Pep Guardiola is seeking ahead of the January market.

Ajax are willing to sell Suarez for around £16 million.
