Despite the close of the transfer window in Europe yesterday, reports in Holland this morning have claimed that AC Milan are preparing a 40 million euro bid for Ajax forward Luis Suarez .

The 22-year-old Uruguayan international is having a fine season, having claimed 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 25 games.
