Luis Suarez: Liverpool striker calls on club to let him leave Anfield

 Luis Suarez says he wants to leave Liverpool and join a side which is competing in the Champions League.

The Uruguay striker, 26, intends to submit a transfer request by the end of the week if a move is blocked.  Suarez told the Guardian  and Daily Telegraph  that the Reds "promised" he could leave this summer if they did not qualify for the Champions League.

"I gave absolutely everything last season. Now all I want is for Liverpool to honour our agreement," he said.

The interviews were given to Spanish-based journalists from the newspapers. Suarez said: "Last year I had the opportunity to move to a big European club and I stayed on the understanding that if we failed to qualify for the Champions League the following season I'd be allowed to go."

 Arsenal have made two bids, with the latest a pound more than £40m, in an attempt to trigger a release clause.

Liverpool, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, have rejected the offers and insisted the clause does not force them to sell.
