Luis Suarez will leave Atletico Madrid in the summer, with Spanish sources claiming that Steven Gerrard and Aston Villa are interested in acquiring the Uruguayan’s services.
Aston Villa’s season is all but over, with only a higher league finish on offer to Gerrard’s men on Sunday in the curtain-closing tie. However, they could still have a major impact on the title race, as they take on Manchester City before attentions turn fully to next season.

Gerrard has already confirmed his first signing of the summer window by turning Philippe Coutinho’s loan move into a permanent one from next season. But when it comes to his former teammates, he may not be done there.
Pete O’Rourke has been looking at the potential move for Suarez, telling GiveMeSport: “Luis Suarez could be a great signing. Although he’s not getting any younger, a free transfer, the chance to link up with Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho again could be something that may appeal to him.
“And still on his day, he’s still a quality player, and I’m sure he would score goals if he did join Villa.”
TIF Thoughts on the potential Luis Suarez to Aston Villa transfer…
Luis Suarez will ultimately go down as one of the greatest players of all time when he hangs up his boots, already boasting 437 career goals and 240 assists in just 698 games. So Villa signing the 35-year-old would be a major coup and you would imagine he would score plenty of goals.

Although he is towards the end of his career, he still fired Atletico Madrid to the league title last season, scoring 21 goals and bagging three assists in 32 games. Diego Simeone hailed the forward as ‘extraordinary‘, so it shows how highly he is still thought of by those working with him.
