Liverpool and Newcastle in the race for one of Sporting’s top players | OneFootball

The great form of Luis Suárez has been attracting attention beyond borders. The Colombian forward – who scored twice in the last match – has been standing out on the national stage and is beginning to spark the interest of several European clubs, even though the summer transfer window is still some way off.

In recent hours, rumors have intensified regarding a possible transfer. According to information reported by Ekrem Konur, the striker is being monitored by Newcastle and Liverpool, two Premier League clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.

In Newcastle’s case, the need arises from the difficulty in finding a solid alternative to Alexander Isak. Although Nick Woltemade showed promise in the early stages, his performance has dropped and he has not fully convinced.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is approaching the market with caution due to the Swedish player’s physical limitations. Although Hugo Ekitiké is currently in good form, he is presently the only natural ‘number 9’ in the squad, a situation that could prompt the Reds to move for another attacking reference.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 37 matches: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
