Highly rated Ajax forward Luis Suarez has revealed that he has rejected moves to Turkish side Fenerbahçe and Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg. Both sides were interested in adding the Uruguayan attacker to their squad last summer...

Luis Suarez has been in a superb form ever since he left Eredivisie side Groningen for Dutch giants Ajax in the summer of 2007. His good performances haven't gone unnoticed and the talented youngster was targeted by Fenerbahçe and Zenit St Petersburg.

However, the 21-year-old winger opted to turn down the big money offers to stay at Eredivisie giants Ajax for at least another year.

"A transfer is always an option if an interesting offer comes in. However, I only want to leave Ajax for big teams like Liverpool, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona," explained the explosive forward to Sportweek.

"It's really difficult to adapt to a new club when you arrive in the middle of the season. Therefore, I don't want to leave Ajax halfway the season, meaning that I'll stay here at least until the summer. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that I want to leave in the summer," concluded Suarez.

Suarez is a product of the Nacional youth academy and left the Uruguayan side for Groningen in 2006. His impressive performances at Groningen resulted in a move to Ajax one year later and he immediately impressed at the Amsterdam giants, too.

He has scored 19 goals in 39 league appearances so far for Ajax. Additionally, the tricky attacker has made several international appearances for the national side of Uruguay.
