Luis Suarez: 'I will return to Ajax'

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has claimed that he wants to return to former club Ajax before the end of his career.

The 27-year-old spent nearly four seasons with the Dutch giants before joining the Merseysiders for £22.8m in January 2011.

Suarez, who won the Eredivisie title during his final campaign in the Netherlands, scored 81 goals in 110 league matches for Ajax.

"I've always said on one day I will return at Ajax," he told Helden magazine. "Even if the manager doesn't want me, I'll go. For sure!

"Ajax was a very important step in my life. My wife Sofia and I are crazy about Amsterdam and the lifestyle, the respect from and for everyone.

"Ajax was the ideal club for me and I learned a lot there. I credit Ajax for teaching me to use both feet, but also how to play without the ball and how to be a team player."

Suarez has found the net 31 times in 36 appearances for Liverpool during the current campaign.
