Liverpool forward Luis Suarez backed to spark Real Premier League exodus
LIVERPOOL forward Luis Suarez has been backed to spark a Premier League exodus to Real Madrid in the summer.
The Reds marksman admitted that he would be open to spreading his wings after citing his treatment by the British media as a contributory factor.
Gareth Bale has been a long-standing target for Real, and as we revealed, Real are lining up a blockbuster £100m double swoop for him and Suarez.
Bookmakers William Hill have given short odds of 11/10 for Suarez to leave Liverpool come the end of the transfer window, with Bale 7/4 to swap White Hart Lane for the Bernebeu.
Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has come to the attention of Real's crosstown rivals, Atletico Madrid, who are resigned to losing Radamel Falcao.
He has been given odds of 5/6 to leave Villa Park come September 3.
But with rumours agog about Cristiano Ronaldo's future, William Hill have priced the Portuguese superstar at 2/7 to stay at the deposed La Liga champions and 5/2 to leave.
Meanwhile, Stoke have been priced at 3/1 to get relegated next season, following the news they appointed Mark Hughes as their new manager.
