Luiz Suarez has ended speculation regarding his future by signing a new long-term contract with Liverpool.
Suarez, back in training at Melwood today following his recent involvement in Uruguay’s failed bid for Olympic gold, has confirmed he could not be more content with life on Merseyside.
“To sign a new contract with Liverpool is unbelievable for me because I am so happy here at both the club and also in the city,” Suarez told Liverpoolfc.com.
“That is important for me and I am very happy with my new contract.
“When you are a kid, everybody wants to play for Liverpool. I am here now and it is a dream for me, and now I am a Liverpool fan.
“I am happy off the pitch because the people of Liverpool are good with me and my family.
“I try my best on the pitch and when you are happy off the pitch, you are happy on the pitch.
“I want to say thank you to the fans because they are our 12th player. The supporters of Liverpool are unbelievable.
“Five or six years ago I watched on TV the stadium and the club, and now I play here and the supporters have helped me. That’s very important for me.”
A short announcement confirmed Suarez, who has scored 21 goals in 52 matches for Liverpool, had put pen to paper on the deal today.
