The former Liverpool and Barcelona superstar, who left Atletico Madrid last month, has always dreamed of winning South America’s premier club competition.

But the departure of River Plate and lack of contact with old club Nacional means the Uruguayan hero is back to his plan to stay in the big leagues of Europe.

Suarez told Ovacion: “A month and a half ago I declared that I will not leave Europe.

“But River was insistent and insistent enough that I thought about it and there was a possibility.

“You’re excited that they love you so much.

“I was very excited about the possibility of going to River to fight for the Copa Libertadores.

“It was a dream that I had to win a trophy in South America. When River was knocked out, that opportunity disappeared.

And he was both “surprised” and disappointed that Uruguayans Nacional didn’t get close.

The ex-Ajax forward said: “If I thought about the possibility of River and I was happy about it, the same thing would happen with Nacional who was my home.

“I’m surprised the Nacional leaders didn’t even call me to find out my situation.

“The player needs love. River gave it to me and Nacional could have tried.”
