Press reports surrounding a release clause in the Uruguay star's contract seem to have sparked the surge in interest, with suggestions that the Spanish giants are ready to engage in a battle for his signature.
The father of Suarez's wife, Gustavo Balbi, has told La Sexta that the time is right for his son-in-law to move to La Liga.
"This is the right moment for him to move," Balbi said. "He has shown all that he is. He has nothing else to prove there [in England]. If he leaves the Premier League, his best option would be to come here to Spain. In Liverpool he is very loved and respected, so he would not go to another English team out of respect for the fans. We would like him here, to have the grandkids here in Spain. I am convinced he would do well if he came here."
On the back of a phenomenal campaign for the Reds, in which he netted 31 times to put them on the brink of winning the Premier League, Suarez sent England crashing out of the World Cup with a brace on Thursday night.
The 27-year-old recently moved to allay fears of his departure, telling Uruguayan TV channel Canal 10: "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to me. I'm very happy here and my family is happy here."
He also signed a new long-term contract in December but that has done little to prevent renewed speculation on a move to Spain this summer.
