The latest Luis Suarez comments will bring delight to Liverpool fans

Luis Suarez has scored 61 goals in 77 matches for Barcelona and says he wants to continue playing for the Catalans, but if he plots a path back to the Premier League, there is only one destination on his mind.

He may have endured some controversial moments at the club, but Luis Suares maintains an affiliation with Liverpool and would only consider signing for them if the opportunity to play for an English club popped up again.

In an exclusive interview with former team-mate Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender asked Suarez if he missed the Premier League to which the Uruguayan replied:

''The atmosphere at the games. In the Premier League you never really know what is going to happen. There is very little between the teams. ''

''And the atmosphere inside the stadiums, for all that it was often criticism of me. The support of the people in Anfield was incredible… Sometimes I’d go to Anfield and think: ‘Uff! There’s a game today’. You might not be in the best mood or be up for the match - but then I remember we’d go out to warm up and it would totally change my mentality. I’d be thinking to myself: ‘I have got to score two or three today.’ The way the people transmitted that to the players was incredible.''

And Carragher followed up the inquiry with the all-important supplementary question, would Suarez consider a return to the Premier League?

''I’d prefer to stay here for many more years. I know it doesn’t always turn out that way. But if I had to return to the Premier League, I would only go to Liverpool. I wouldn’t go to another team. It wouldn’t be a move for money. I’d also love to play again for Ajax as they allowed me to develop as a player in Europe.''
