Suarez: Signing for Liverpool was ‘never in doubt’

There was no doubt in Luis Suarez’s mind when the opportunity arose to join Liverpool six years ago but the Barcelona striker admits he never thought he would be worthy of representing the Reds.

The Uruguayan, who moved to Anfield from Ajax back in 2011, scored 82 goals in 133 appearances for the Merseyside outfit, winning the now-EFL Cup with them in 2012.

He moved to Barcelona in 2014 and has since gone on to win two league titles, three Copas del Rey and the Champions League with the Spanish giants.

But while silverware was few and far between during his time in England, Suarez admits he will never forget signing on the dotted line to seal his ‘dream’ move.

“When I was little, Liverpool was one of the biggest clubs in Europe and was renowned throughout the world,” he said.

“So when I found out about the club’s interest in me, I was never in doubt because it’s the dream for any player.

“I never imagined that I would get the chance to play there.

“At Anfield, the fans get right behind you come what may.

“The affection that they show to you is just so special, which in turn makes you lift up your head and respond, rather than letting it drop a little.

“For me, this is just what the Liverpool fans have.”
