The striker could join the Barclays Premier League side for £22.8m, although the 24-year-old has yet to pass a medical and agree personal terms with the Anfield outfit.The deal is a real statement of intent from American owners Fenway Sports Group and will go a long way to proving to the club's major stars - such as the likes of Fernando Torres and Jose Reina who have been calling for significant investment in the squad - that they are serious about restoring Liverpool to Europe's elite.
Personal Terms
The club earlier revealed they had turned down a bid for Torres from Chelsea and had no intention of selling their star striker as they see him as a key part of their plan to turn things around.Suarez's imminent arrival, which will give Torres some much-needed support up front, is a key moment in FSG's short three-month reign.
He has been prolific in the Eredivisie, scoring 111 goals in 159 matches since joining the Dutch giants in the summer of 2007.A statement on the club's official website read: "Liverpool Football Club announced this afternoon that they had agreed a fee of up to 26.5m Euros with Ajax for the transfer of Luis Suarez, subject to the completion of a medical.
"The club have now been given permission by Ajax to discuss personal terms with the player and his representatives."
