Given that the excuses Luis Suarez has made in relation to his desire to leave Liverpool relate chiefly to his wish to flee England to escape press intrusion as well as the injustice he feels the FA have dealt him in relation to suspensions he has received for alleged racist behaviour and biting of an opponent, any move to another Premier League side would leave the former Ajax man looking rather foolish.

Pellegrini has already seen Man City fork out upwards of £40m to bring in midfielder Fernandinho and winger Jesus Navas from Shakhtar Donestk and Sevilla respectively.
