iPhones News Luis Suárez will be told by Liverpool to train away from the squad until he shows a better attitude in training and more respect for the club and his team-mates, with the move signalling that the striker has become an outcast because of his desire to depart for Arsenal.
Yet, given the wording of Suárez's contract, Gordon Taylor, the Professional Footballers' Association chief executive, warned that any decision by the player to use legal action to leave Anfield may not be successful as "it does not say the club have to sell".
The manager, Brendan Rodgers, and owner, the Fenway Sports Group, are dismayed with Suárez's public manoeuvring to leave, with the striker having spoken to the Guardian on Tuesday. Then, Suárez pleaded that Liverpool uphold a promise he claims was made that he could go this summer following failure to secure Champions League football. Suárez says he is prepared to make his desire to leave official by lodging a formal transfer request by the end of this week.
"Last year I had the opportunity to move to a big European club and I stayed on the understanding that if we failed to qualify for the Champions League the following season I'd be allowed to go," the Uruguayan said.
Arsenal remain in line to sign Suárez should he force through his wish, with the forward claiming the support of the PFA, which is examining his contract to determine the precise implications of what the Uruguayan believes is a £40m buyout clause.
Arsène Wenger has described Arsenal as being "on standby" and the club will continue to wait for what they hope will be a decisive twist to the saga. They made a £40,000,001 bid for Suárez more than two weeks ago and are pleased that he has gone public.
For them, the best-case scenario now is that Liverpool agree to negotiate, in the face of the backlash from their supporters regarding Suárez's interview, and their hand could be strengthened when Suárez submits an official transfer request.
Arsenal will also wait to see how the possible legal challenges play out, with Suárez having stated he will ask the Premier League to arbitrate.
The League is yet to be contacted by the player and Taylor said: "If you are going to have a supposed buyout clause, it should be that but it is different as it says, if there is no qualification for the Champions League and if there is a minimum offer of £40m, then the parties will get around the table to discuss things. But it does not say the club has to sell. It quite clearly states £40m is a minimum offer for discussions but it becomes really difficult with such clauses. There is a 'good faith' clause in relation to serious discussions but I can't say it is a cast-iron buyout clause.
"Luis is one of our members and we want to be supportive. However, he may well have thought such an offer would trigger a move.
"The interpretation is not that simple and there is no guarantee of getting a result if it is referred to the Premier League. I just feel like in any other transfer it is better for both parties to get around the table to try to resolve it. At the moment it is certainly festering and I don't think it is a good situation for the player or the clubs involved. It is not edifying, that is why I feel we had to do our best to get round the table and see if there are grounds for consideration for the move but it [the clause] is not specific and 100% certain."
The problem for Arsenal would appear to be that any outcome to the dispute could run beyond the transfer deadline of 2 September. Their fallback option is to increase the offer, which they have the will and capacity to do.
"At the moment, the situation is on standby," Wenger said. "I heard that [Suárez is considering legal action], but this is sometimes linked with things that you don't know as a potential buyer. That is the story between Suárez and Liverpool and I don't know what has been said, what has been promised and what has been written and that is only Suárez and Liverpool that can decide that.
"It is nothing to do with us. We have been told that the player wants to leave Liverpool and that is why we have acted. I really don't know what will be decided by Liverpool."
