Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor believes Liverpool should allow Luis Suarez to leave the club.
The Uruguayan striker has revealed that the Reds are keeping him at Anfield against his wishes after a clause in his contract was met when Arsenal bid in excess of £40million for his services.
Liverpool turned down that offer but Suarez says he should be now sold after the club failed to qualify for the Champions League last season and Taylor agrees.
"We have tried to get a settlement of this but there are a number of other big-name players who are in situations where clubs are offering, clubs are refusing and it has to be sorted between the club and the player," he told Sky Sports.
"What is quite clear is that an offer in the region of £40m has been turned down and if Luis Suarez is determined to leave you don't see any sense in a player being where he doesn't want to be.
"On the other hand we've a short period of time in the window and if you're going to lose a player as good as Luis Suarez you need time to replace him and you need good money and no doubt that will be on Liverpool's mind.
"It's created a real problem and that's why we need to be mindful in the future of such clauses and if it is going to be a buy-out clause it says that, and there's no ambiguity and no misinterpretations because it's obviously the case that that has happened."
