Luis Suárez 'considering' shock move to Berlusconi's Monza | OneFootball

Luis Suárez is reportedly considering a move to Serie A new boys Monza.

The veteran striker has been on the lookout for a new club since his contract with Atlético Madrid expired last month.

He revealed yesterday that a prospective deal with Argentine giants River Plate fell through after they were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores at the round of 16 stage.

Suárez also claimed that Mexican clubs Toluca and Cruz Azul had shown interest, but that he wanted to stay in Europe to help him prepare best for the World Cup in Qatar.

Now, according to SportItalia, there has been “direct contact” between the Uruguay international and Monza chairman Adriano Galliani.

The Biancorossi, who are owned by controversial businessman and former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, are preparing for their first season in the top flight in their 110-year history.

They finished fourth in Serie B last season, gaining promotion via play-off success against Pisa.
