Claiming himself to be promised of help by Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers in condition of club failing to qualify for this season’s Champions League, Suarez has fallen out with Anfield hierarchy.
On the other side, Rodgers is denying Suarez’s claims while club owner John W Henry insists the Uruguayan not to be sold.
Arsenal had already made bids twice for Suarez which were rejected by Liverpool.
Purslow said “What’s unusual about this case is there seems to be some significant confusion between the player and the club as to whether he did or didn’t have such an escape clause. Yesterday it became clear that he did not have a clause, so I suspect he’s pretty unhappy with his agent who got that wrong a year ago. I also suspect Arsenal are unhappy because they’re a club who do their business extremely properly and professionally and they will have been made aware by intermediaries acting for the player that he thought such a clause existed.”
