Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has no doubt that Luis Suarez is fully committed to the club amid speculation of a move away from Anfield this summer.

The Uruguayan enjoyed a successful campaign, scoring 30 goals in 44 appearances for the Reds before his season was cut short after he was hit with a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

While many have questioned the 26-year-old's motives, Rodgers firmly believes that Suarez is at his happiest when playing for the Merseysiders.

"We have supported him when he's been in turmoil and when he's had setbacks, when there have been traumas over the last couple of years. He knows he did wrong," Rodgers told ESPN. "Yes, there was that initial period of shock and anger at the beginning but a wee bit of reality has set now. I look at him in training and he's still working hard.

"He was committed to wanting to stay and work with the club. I think he's very happy here – as a club we're doing everything to keep him and all the players content, and in the main I think they are. I think where he's happiest is with his mates in the team or with his family. He just loves his football and I'm sure being away with Uruguay will give him a focus and concentration.

"Obviously he had a circumstance which made it extremely difficult for him, but I've seen nothing to make me think anything other than he will want to stay. I've been in contact with his agent, so I think he needs to go away, play in the tournament, have a period of reflection and come back, raring to go, to help us have a good season."

Suarez has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
