Published on:

Liverpool have still not forgotten Arsene Wenger’s notorious £40m + £1 bid for former striker Luis Suarez, which is evident by the €98 million release clause in Roberto Firmino’s contract that can be triggered by any club except for Arsenal.Roberto Firmino

The Gunners tried to outsmart Liverpool in 2013 when they made a bid of £40m + £1 for then Reds talisman Suarez thinking that it would trigger a buy-out clause in his contract that made the Merseyside clubs owner John W. Henry furious as he tweeted, “What do you think they’re smoking over there at the Emirates?”.

Now Liverpool have taken revenge for the bizarre bid as they’ve inserted a clause in Roberto Firmino’s contract that says the striker can be bought for €98 million “if the interested club is not Arsenal”.suarez
