Tardelli: Suarez is ideal for Juventus
Former Juventus striker Marco Tardelli believes that Luis Suarez would fit well into the club's current system but doubts that the signing could go through.

Juventus have been on the hunt to add to their strikeforce after winning the Serie A last season without a striker crossing the 10-goal mark and have been linked with names like Alexis Sanchez.
Tardelli believes that Suarez would be the ideal person to fit into the strikeforce but admitted that it would take a lot to pry the Uruguayan away from Liverpool.
"It's obvious that a striker who scores 20 goals a season would be a good addition for any team. Good players are not cheap, though," Tardelli was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.
"Suarez would be ideal due to his power, technique and directness, but I'd say signing him could be a complicated matter. [Gonzalo] Higuain could be a more realistic option."
Suarez has previously been linked with a move away from Anfield after it was apparent that Liverpool will not be playing Champions League football next season but the Uruguayan has since then said that he would want to stay at the club no matter the circumstances.
The 58-year-old then went on to discuss Juventus' chances in the Champions League, and feels they could spring a surprise with a bit of luck.
"Teams like Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have something extra," Tardelli added.
"The Champions League is a strange competition, though. If Barcelona and Real Madrid are eliminated in this round, things are different for the other teams. And at that stage, Juventus could go far with their great organisation."
