Chomping won't put off Barcelona making players-plus-cash offer for Liverpool's Suarez

Barcelona remain interested in signing Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, despite his biting shame.

Suarez, twice convicted of biting earlier in his career, on Tuesday night appeared to bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's defeat of Italy and faces a lengthy ban.

The Mirror says It is understood that Barca's arch-rivals Real Madrid have cooled their interest after Suarez's latest embarrassment but the Catalans remain keen - and Liverpool may now be tempted to sell.

Barca are ready to offer Chile World Cup star Alexis Sanchez to the Reds as part of an £80million player-plus-cash deal, as they have not been put off by Tuesday's disgraceful incident.

Barcelona could even put Spain winger Pedro into the deal too, and if they meet Liverpool's valuation then Suarez would turn his back on English football.
