Luis Suarez had the buyout clause in his Liverpool deal removed last year, it has been revealed. The People says Arsenal could not activate the £40million get-out clause in Luis Suarez's Liverpool contract this summer - because the player himself had scrapped it a year earlier.
The Gunners thought Suarez was theirs when they bid a cheeky £1 above the £40m figure in August, but the Uruguayan had decided to remove the clause from his contract on the advice of his agent Pere Guardiola 12 months before.
With Liverpool failing to qualify for the Champions League, Suarez agitated for a move during the close-season, completely forgetting that the £40m escape agreement no longer existed.
