Liverpool chiefs aren't surprised by Luis Suarez's revelations in Uruguay this week.

The striker has declared he wants to leave Anfield, with Real Madrid circling.

The Daily Star says Anfield officials have been privately fearing for some time that the Uruguayan would quit this summer.

Real Madrid are in pole position to land Suarez and want to open talks with Liverpool on Monday.

Sources claim the Spanish giants have already agreed a four-year, £140,00-a-week deal.
