Perez says Real won't bid for Suarez in January window as president sets Bale and co target of winning 10th European Cup
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has told Liverpool fans he will not bid for Luis Suarez when the transfer window opens at the end of the year.
'We will not be signing anyone in January,' he said to the club’s members at the Real Madrid annual general meeting on Sunday.
The Spanish club sold Gonzalo Higuain this summer without bringing in a replacement.

Plenty to celebrate: Perez's presentation was festooned with images of £86million record signing Gareth Bale
He said: 'He has come to form part of our spectacular team. He was the image, the face, of the Premier League now he is here with us to help us win titles. We want to win our tenth European Cup and many more trophies.'
Madrid confirmed a record £440million income from last season and members were shown images of Bale signing as the meeting began.
Winger Angel Di Maria has meanwhile criticized the signing. The Argentine said: 'This is a club that always signs players and sometimes they forget just how good the players they already have are.'
