Real Madrid could sign Suarez after World Cup: Ancelotti

Madrid, June 22 (IANS/EFE) Real Madrid's Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti says the signing of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez and two other players will be discussed after the 2014 World Cup.

"There will be no signings until after the World Cup. We are in no rush and we do not need to do a lot of business," Ancelotti was quoted as saying by Spanish daily Marca before flying for his summer vacation, reports EFE.

Marca said that Real Madrid are also eying players like Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal, Toni Kroos and Marco Verratti as the club wants to "form a dream frontline" beside Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

Having to pay a 75 million euros release clause to Liverpool, Real Madrid have to "make sure they will get the full money's worth if they sign" the 27-year-old Suarez.

Despite going under the knife for a knee surgery three weeks ago, Suarez managed to score a brace in the 2014 World Cup securing Uruguay's win over England on Thursday.

Suarez is living his best moments as he was the Premier League's top scorer in the 2013-14 season with a tally of 31 goals and shared the European Golden Shoe Award with goal machine Cristiano Ronaldo.
