Arsenal blow as Real bid £20m plus Higuain for Suarez By MARK IRWIN ARSENAL are facing a double whammy from Real Madrid. Spanish giants Real are prepared to offer Liverpool £20million plus Argie striker Gonzalo Higuain for Luis Suarez. Arsene Wenger’s Gunners have been chasing both Suarez and Higuain but could now lose out on their transfer targets. Arsenal were confident of landing Liverpool’s sought-after front man for £40million. This was despite having a £35m offer rejected and Kop boss Brendan Rodgers insisting he will not sell his 30-goal top scorer for anything less than £55m. The Londoners, though, are ready to top the £120,000-a-week deal the Uruguayan is on at Anfield, which makes him the Reds’ highest-paid player. Suarez, though, would prefer a move to Real. And with Real now valuing Higuain at £35m after interest from Napoli, the Spanish giants’ £55m package might tempt Rodgers to do business. Ironically, Arsenal agreed terms with Higuain more than three weeks ago AND had a verbal agreement in place with Madrid for a £23m deal.
