Spoke to Kermit about this this morning. It's definitely leaked from one side, because of the sheer number of journalists who had it ready to print. I don't know whether Viva's right about it being from someone in Suarez's camp, but I do think he's right about it being a fleeting comment, Tony Evans said last night that it's a story, but he didn't feel like slapping it on the back page, which indicated to me it was all a bit of smoke (considering the player and the mooted fee).
Don't think it was LFC, given the lengths they've gone to clean it up today, unless the idea was to put it in the public domain that Suarez wouldn't be going anywhere. But that was expected anyway after his contract extension, so it'd seem unnecessary. City wouldn't get much out of it, other than the idea that they're willing to spend big in January (perhaps to appease itchy supporters), and besides, they've got more pertinent issues that demand attention before they need to spend huge amounts on a striker.
It's really strange.
