And he could be set for a return to Dutch side Ajax – where Suarez spent four years before joining Liverpool in 2011.

Uruguayan journalist Enzo Olivera claims Ajax’s sporting director Overmars is readying a bid for Suarez.

Olivera told sports show Polideportivo via Football Inside: “Overmars wants Suarez and has opened the doors of the Johan Cruyff Arena for him.”

The Uruguayan striker’s contract runs until next summer and Barca have an option to extend the deal for an extra season.

Luis Suarez was a prolific goalscorer in his first spell with Ajax

But the Catalan giants are planning a major squad overhaul after their 8-2 Champions League humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich.

Just SIX players including Lionel Messi are safe from the axe – but the Argentine superstar has reportedly told the Blaugrana he wants to leave “immediately”.

And an ageing and injury-prone Suarez could be moved on.

He has also been linked with a move to Qatari side Al-Arabi with David Beckham‘s Inter Miami battling for his signature too.

But Suarez will undoubtedly have to accept a pay cut if he leaves the Nou Camp.

Ajax – where Suarez has happy memories after scoring 111 goals in 159 games during his first spell – will not match his current wages.

The veteran striker collects over £260,000 a week at Barca.
