Luis Suarez has warned Liverpool that he would consider any offers in the summer from clubs that can offer Champions League football.
German Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich and Italian giants Juventus head up the chase for Suarez, who has scored 29 goals in 40 appearances for Liverpool this season.
However, Brendan Rodgers' team have too often relied on Suarez's talents and lie in seventh place in the Barclays Premier League - in danger of missing out on European football altogether.

Shaping up: Suarez admitted he would consider a summer move to a club in the Champions League
Suarez is under contract at Anfield until 2017, but did not rule out the idea of a big-money move at the end of the season.
'I am very happy at Liverpool but you never know in football,' Suarez said ahead of his international side's World Cup qualifier with Paraguay, as reported in the Liverpool Echo.
'If another team comes around with more prospects of competing in international club competition games, which is willing to have me, they are welcome.
Disappointing: Suarez played in Liverpool's 3-1 defeat by struggling Southampton on Saturday
'We would talk to the club, we would see if I want to go, if I don’t want to go.'
However, Suarez also recognised Liverpool's strengths, including manager Brendan Rodgers' footballing philosophy, which he hopes to see propel the club further next year.
Rodgers won plaudits for his Swansea side's passing style last season, and has attempted to implement the same structure at Anfield.
Philosophy: Manager Brendan Rodgers has tried to implement his possession-based style at Liverpool
'A player’s ambition is always there, the ambition of wanting to play in elite teams is always there,' said Suarez.
'I’m in a world-class team, an elite team like Liverpool.
'We have to realise we have a new manager who is imposing a philosophy and a way of playing that the players are adapting to as best we can.
'We hope that it will bear fruit next year.'
