Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers told Luis Suarez to think about the fans who have treated him like "a son" after the club's American owner laughed off a bid from Arsenal for the striker's services on Wednesday.
British media reported the north London club had offered 40 million and one pound ($61.47 million) for Suarez prompting Liverpool owner John W. Henry to ask on Twitter: "What do you think they are smoking over there at Emirates?"
Arsenal's unusual bid ties in with media reports that an offer of more than 40 million pounds triggers a clause in the Uruguay international's contract that says Liverpool must inform the striker of its Premier League rival's interest.
"There's no doubt the market these days for top players is very small so Luis will always be linked with top clubs," Rodgers said after Suarez made a cameo appearance in Liverpool's 2-0 win over local club Victory in Melbourne.
"But I think the support that he's received from the supporters and the people of the city of Liverpool has been unrivaled."
