Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is set for showdown talks with unsettled star Luis Suarez in Australia as the Uruguay striker continues to seek a move away from Anfield.
.
Rodgers has confirmed Suarez will be joining up with the rest of his squad for the latest leg of their pre- season tour after being given extra time off following his Confederations Cup duty with Uruguay.
.
The 26-year-old's presence is unlikely to quash speculation that Liverpool will eventually be forced to off-load Suarez, who is keen to move to a club playing Champions football, League and has been the subject of a rejected £30 million bid from Arsenal.
.
The Gunners are believed to be considering returning with an improved offer, while Chelsea and Real Madrid are also said to be interested in the controversial former Ajax star.
.
And Rodgers, whose side beat an Indonesia XI 2-0 in Jakarta on Saturday, will sit down with Suarez, who will miss the start of the Premier League season while he completes a suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, in a bid to persuade him to stay.
.
"He's on the plane and we will see him in Melbourne," Rodgers was quoted as saying in several English newspapers on Sunday.
.
"I'm looking forward to seeing him, he's a player I've always supported.
.
"I understand the situation but the bottom line is he is employed by the club.
.
"The money goes into his bank at the end of every month, so he should be here.
.
"If he's not, which I doubt, there will be a problem." With Suarez yet to start training this summer, it is unlikely he will figure in Wednesday's sell-out friendly against Melbourne Victory at the MCG.
.
One player who does appear to be on his way out of Anfield is goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
.
The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli, now managed by former Reds' boss Rafael Bentiez, following the arrival of Simon Mignolet from Sunderland.
.
"I've a lot of time for Pepe," Rodgers said. "He has a big season with the World Cup.
.
"If he wasn't going to be playing, it could severely harm his chances of going.

Liverpool FC is a club that can still do well without a player like Luis Suarez....I believe in them to do things greatly even when he leaves.
