Kosovo Super League club Hajvalia have declared their interest in taking disgraced striker Luis Suarez on loan, while he serves out his FIFA ban.
The Uruguayan striker was sent packing from the World Cup after FIFA charged him with biting Italy defender, Giorgio Chiellini. Banned from playing for his country for nine matches, Suarez will also miss as many as 13 matches for Liverpool - including four of their Champions League group stages games.
But while the ban does not prevent him from being transferred to another club, Kosovo Super League side Hajvalia are looking to exploit another potential loophole. They, unlike the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, are not a FIFA registered club.

Hajvalia officials are putting together a proposal for Suarez to play for them until his ban expires in late October, and are willing to pay him £300 per week.
“Suarez can’t play in the next four months,” said club director Xhavit Pacolli.
“As we are not part of FIFA yet, I think he can play in Kosovo, so we have an offer that we will send to Liverpool.
“We offered £25,000 and a salary of £1,200 for each month. This might sound ridiculous to him, but that is all we can do.
“If he is willing to come and play for us, he is welcome. As we are not part of FIFA, it would be ideal for him.”
