Details of Liverpool's proposal emerged ahead of the sides' crucial clash at Anfield on Saturday, with the Merseysiders having made the shock offer to the Gunners in the final days of summer transfer window.
But manager Arsene Wenger rejected the move because he felt it inflated the value of Suarez and he did not want to lose Walcott. With the England international valued at £25m by Liverpool, Arsenal were effectively asked to pay a fee worth £65m for Suarez.
Liverpool had appeared to close the door on the possibility of Suarez moving to Arsenal when they turned down their rivals’ £40m-plus-£1 bid for the striker in late July and made it clear, publically and privately, that increased offers from the London club would not be entertained.[/article]
