Real Madrid 'bow out of Luis Suarez race'

Real 'bow out of Suarez race'

Real Madrid have no interest in signing striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool, according to a report.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti is not looking to bring in another forward as he is satisfied with his strike force of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Marca claims.

Real are on the verge of selling Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli, but Ancelotti is reportedly hoping to give more opportunities to youngsters Jese Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata next season rather than bring in another big-name striker.

"We believe in Jese and Morata and they deserve this chance. They are also very good. We are not going to sign a new forward," a club insider allegedly told the Spanish newspaper.

The move has given rise to reports that Arsenal are in pole position to sign Suarez, although the Gunners recently had a bid of £42m turned down.

Liverpool are reportedly unwilling to sell Suarez for less than £50m.
