Imminent Barcelona signing Luis Suarez may quit Liverpool without having to return to Merseyside.
The Mail on Sunday says banned from any training ground for four months following his bite on Giorgio Chiellini in the World Cup, there are no plans yet for the player to say farewell in person to his former team-mates.
Suarez lived in a plush rented home next to Strawberry Fields - made famous by The Beatles - in south Liverpool but could arrange for the removal of all his belongings without going back in person.
Ironically, Barcelona are preparing for their pre-season at England's HQ in St George's Park but Suarez can not play until October and is prohibited from taking part in any football activity until then.
