Manchester City 'plotting £100m Luis Suarez bid'

Manchester City are reportedly mulling a £100m bid to sign Barcelona forward Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan tormented the Blues defence last week, scoring twice in Barca's 2-1 Champions League win, but has otherwise failed to set the world alight in Catalonia.

According to the Daily Mail, the Spanish giants would like to offload the ex-Liverpool frontman and City are aware of Suarez's situation.

It is thought that City are willing to pay a substantial fee for Suarez, although Barca's transfer embargo may be a stumbling block as they would not be able to buy a replacement.

However, a rumoured swap involving Sergio Aguero is said to be not entirely out of the question.
