Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed he remains in the hunt for Luis Suarez, but is keen to complete the possible transfer for the Liverpool forward in an "amicable" way.
Arsenal have already seen two bids rejected by Liverpool for the wantaway striker, with Reds owner John W Henry also stating a couple of days back that Suarez was not for sale at any price.
However, Wenger is still hopeful of a deal being completed for Suarez, but understands that a change in stance from Liverpool is necessary.
"There is nothing to add to what I said already about the transfer of Suarez," he told reporters in Helsinki ahead of Arsenal's preseason friendly against Manchester City. "If it will be done, it will be done in a respectful and amicable way with Liverpool.
"I didn't read (Henry's) statements but we'll be faithful to the way we want to behave.
"To make a transfer happen, you need the agreement of three parties - the buyer, the seller and the player.
"We know what we want to do. The player, if I look at the statements (does) as well. Liverpool at the moment do not agree. If they change their minds or not, I don't know. We'll respect that.
"We are looking at possibilities to strengthen our squad. Suarez is one of the targets. If he's not for sale, he's not for sale. We have to accept that.
"Every club has its own way of dealing with things, we have our way and we respect all the other clubs."
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers admitted Suarez will continue to train on his own following the striker's comments about being betrayed by the club.
"Obviously Luis is training on his own at the moment and he understands totally where we're coming from," Rodgers told the club's official website.
"We're in no great rush, to be honest. I needed to make a decision in terms of the wellbeing of the group. The training through preseason has been absolutely magnificent. The mentality of the players. I just couldn't afford to break that.
"But when the time comes, we'll come in and speak and once he's ready to train how he's always done we'll put him back in the group.
"It's been a difficult period for him but it's my job to protect the group and the football club. Once he's back in line with the spirit that everyone knows of him, and the commitment, then he'll rejoin the group."
