He's fantastic! Real Madrid talk up Liverpool star Luis Suarez
CARLO ANCELOTTI has opened the door for Liverpool's Luis Suarez to join Real Madrid after hailing the striker as "a fantastic player".
Madrid are rumoured to be in the market for a world-class forward after winning the Champions League against Atletico, and Suarez is at the top of Ancelotti's wish-list.
Manchester City's Sergio Aguero has also been touted as another possibility, but former Real boss Manuel Pellegrini is determined to keep hold of the Argentinian poacher.

Luis Suarez is a fantastic player, but it is disrespectful to talk about a transfer now
With youngster Alvaro Morata on his way out this summer, Karim Benzema will be Ancelotti's only out-and-out striker, and although the former Chelsea boss admitted it was "disrespectful" to talk about a transfer, he did concede that the Uruguayan was a top footballing talent.
He said: "It is difficult to improve what we have. Luis Suarez is a fantastic player, but it is disrespectful to talk about a transfer now.
"We're in no rush and we don't need to bring in a lot of players. We have until August 31."
