In a candid revelation, former football star Luis Suárez has shared new details about his decision to leave Ajax and join Liverpool back in 2011, revealing that he had offers from both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur but chose the Merseyside club without a second thought.
Speaking in an interview, Suárez explained that despite the interest from Spurs, it was Liverpool’s offer that immediately captured his heart. “When I was leaving Ajax, I had offers from Liverpool and Tottenham… I did NOT think about it and I chose Liverpool,” the Uruguayan striker admitted.

Suárez also recalled his deep admiration for Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, two of Liverpool’s biggest stars at the time. “I was a fan of Gerrard and Fernando Torres!” he confessed. “It’s a shame I couldn’t play with Torres, it would have been a dream. I always played on the PlayStation using Torres,” Suárez added, highlighting how the Spanish striker was one of his idols.
The choice to join Liverpool marked the beginning of a legendary chapter in Suárez’s career, where he would go on to become one of the Premier League’s most dynamic and controversial forwards.
