Ajax due windfall from Liverpool's Suarez sale

Ajax will be due a bumper windfall once Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's move to Barcelona goes through.

The Mirror says Suarez, signed from the Dutch club in 2011 - coincidentally just two months after biting an opponent in an Eredivisie match - is leaving Anfield for Barcelona in a £75million deal.

The 27-year-old cost the Reds £22million when arriving from Amsterdam, having scored 111 goals in 159 games for the Netherlands most successful club.

But the four-time European Cup winners ensured that they installed a clause in the deal which would see them entitled to 6.5 percent of any future fee.

As such, Suarez's move to Camp Nou is set to net the Amsterdammers a figure in the region of £4.3million.
