Aston Villa transfer news: Luis Suarez ‘priority’ and official confirmation tee up Steven Gerrard reunion

The pieces are falling into place for a reunion between Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa after two encouraging updates.

The future of Luis Suarez remains unclear at present, though one thing is now certain – it will lay away from Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan veteran moved to Atletico in 2020 after being unceremoniously dumped by Barcelona.

Indeed, Suarez has often been relegated to a role off the bench and started just four of Atletico’s last 14 league matches to end the campaign. Regardless he did still bag 11 league goals despite his minutes being severely cut.
