Luis Suarez: My aim is to reach a friendly agreement with Liverpool and move to Arsenal

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez still hopes to come to a "friendly" resolution with the club over his transfer saga despite incurring the wrath of manager Brendan Rodgers.

The Liverpool manager is unhappy with the attitude shown by the Uruguay international - who seems intent on forcing a move to Arsenal - in recent weeks and has been told to train on his own.

Rodgers rejected Suarez's claim he had reneged on an agreement last summer which would allow the player to leave for a Champions League club, saying interviews given by the 26 year-old suggesting as much showed "total disrespect" to the club.

However, Suarez remains determined to find a way out of Anfield and admits even captain Steven Gerrard's pleas for him to stay cannot offset the lure of the Champions League, while also reiterating he would jump at the chance to go to Real Madrid.

"I'm still defending the Liverpool shirt and I will do so until the last minute," Suarez, who was left at home for last night's friendly against Valerenga in Norway because of injury and is unlikely to feature against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday, told Spanish newspaper Marca.

"My aim is to reach an agreement with the club in a friendly manner and I hope the clause we agreed a year ago is fulfilled. Up to now, it hasn't been.
