After bringing in Coutinho, Aston Villa's new coach Gerrard has locked his third signing since taking office on another former Liverpool team-mate. On January 19, Beijing time, Romero, a well-known journalist from Spain, revealed that Aston Villa has officially offered Suarez, who plays for Atletico.
The 34-year-old Suarez's contract with Atletico will expire this summer, as the Uruguayan striker has not performed well this season, and Atletico has no intention of renewing his contract, and even willing to let him leave the team early in the winter window, which also allows Villa to see the opportunity to bring Sushin back to the Premier League. This season, Su Shen made 27 appearances for Atletico, contributing only 9 goals and 1 assist.
It is reported that Villa boss Gerrard has called Suarez and hopes that he can join Villa. Suarez himself is very interested in the invitation of his former teammate Gerrard, for which he has even given up invitations to Brazilian clubs such as Palmeiras, Corinthians and Atlético Mineiro, and has not accepted to play in the Middle East. If all goes well, the 34-year-old Suarez will return to the Premier League in the winter window.
Previously, Suarez had played for Premier League giants Liverpool for 3 and a half years, and he had teamed up with Gerrard for a time to help Liverpool to the league title. And despite the unpleasant way Suarez left Liverpool, his friendship with Gerrard has remained so far, and the two are now expected to work together again.
If Suarez joins Villa, he will meet with Gerard and Coutinho, two former Liverpool team-mates. The three legends that once left good memories for Reds fans are now a member of Villa, and presumably this scene will also make Reds fans have mixed feelings.
