The agent of Liverpool star Luis Suarez claims the striker has no plans to leave Anfield this summer.

The forward was quoted as telling a Uruguayan radio station this week that it would be "very difficullt" to turn down Real Madrid, fuelling talk of his impending exit.

Bernabeu president Florentino Perez gave the story further credence when he admitted Suarez, along with Tottenham midfielder Gareth Bale, was on his radar.

But Suarez's agent, Pere Guardiola, has told Sky Sports News' chief news reporter Bryan Swanson that Suarez remains "happy" at Liverpool and has no plans to leave in this summer's transfer window.
