In this case we know he has a buyout clause but aren't willing to activate. It should be noted that no other club has come in activate it either so it might have put a lot of other clubs off, though Draxler himself was reluctant to move last summer so could be due to that.
Suarez situation was just a total mess up, then after our silly bid Liverpool refused to do business with us. Though they did try to sign Diego Costa who turned them down so might of been more willing to let Suarez go and negotiate if he had decided to join.
