Luis Suarez has signed a new long-term deal
with Liverpool - and the 17-goal striker credits the fans for
"influencing his decision" to stay.
The Uruguayan has been in
stunning form for the Reds recently, after a turbulent summer in which
he suggested the club had reneged on an agreement to sell him if they
failed to qualify for the Champions League.It had been expected that talks would continue throughout the
season and the received wisdom was that the player would want to wait
and see whether the Reds secured a Champions League place for next
season, but the club on Friday confirmed he had signed a new deal.Suarez told the club's official website: "I am delighted to have
agreed a new deal with Liverpool and have my future secured for the long
term," Suarez told the club's website."We have some great players and the team is growing and improving
all the time. I believe I can achieve the ambitions of winning trophies
and playing at the very highest level with Liverpool. My aim is to help
get us there as quickly as possible."Without doubt the backing I have received from the Liverpool
fans has influenced my decision. I am so proud to represent them and go
out to do my best for them every time I pull on the shirt."We have a special relationship; they have love for me and in
return I love them back. I will always do my best for them and hopefully
we can achieve success together."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said the new deal was a huge boost for the club."This is fantastic news for everyone associated with the club; the team, the owners and most importantly the supporters.
"Luis is a world-class talent and securing his services is crucial for what we are trying to achieve here.
"What's most important and most exciting is that, at just 26
years old, his best years are still ahead of him and we now know we'll
be seeing him reach that potential in a Liverpool shirt."Principal owner John W Henry said the new deal proves Liverpool are progressing on and off the pitch."We are committed to working hard to keep our best players and
this is an indication that we are moving in the right direction and
moving at a pace that impresses one of the best players in world
football," he said."The club has made major strides forward in
recent years and we are all committed to delivering the success our
supporters want and deserve."
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner said: "This demonstrates our
commitment, as an ownership group, to building a team that competes at
the highest level both in the Barclays Premier League and in Europe.
"Our primary motive is to do what is best for Liverpool Football
Club and today's news is another significant step forward on this
journey."
