Liverpool meeting with Barcelona chief Sanllehi in London over Luis Suarez

Liverpool's meeting with Barcelona over the sale of Luis Suarez will be held in London today. The Daily Mail says Liverpool officials, including managing director Ian Ayre, have agreed to meet Raul Sanllehi, Barcelona's director of football management, in London to discuss their valuation of the 27-year-old.

Barcelona are looking to strike a compromise of around £60m, based on the fact that Suarez is banned from football for the next four months following his bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.

Liverpool will not be swayed from their valuation of Suarez but will revive their interest in Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez as part of the negotiations.

Barcelona value the Chile international at £35m following his performances in the World Cup and have already rejected a £20m offer from Juventus for the 25-year-old.
