Suso has opened up regarding his Liverpool exit

Spanish midfielder Suso left Liverpool in 2015 to join Italian Serie A giants AC Milan.

He failed to make an impact at Anfield ever since joining in 2011 and was shipped off to Italy, where he is now a key part of the team.

His versatility is one of his biggest strengths as he can operate anywhere in midfield and on either flank. As quoted on SempreMilan, Suso said:

When I returned to Liverpool to start training, I felt that something had changed and I realized that they wouldn’t renew my contract. There were six months left of my contract, so I called my agent. He told me that Milan was an option after the end of the season.

I replied that I would like that a lot because I thought it was another big club with a lot of history. I didn’t like the idea of waiting until June. I came to Milan to have my medical examinations and then I met Galliani.

I told him ‘I don’t want to go back to Liverpool and I would like to stay here’. At that point, he told me ‘okay, don’t worry’. The next day, my agent called me and said that Galliani had done everything, and if I wanted, I could join Milan straight away.

READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Suso was very highly-rated from a young age and maybe that negatively affected him.

There were pretty high expectations of him at Liverpool but he failed to deliver and moving seems like the right choice now.

He’s rebuilt his career and status and is now even being linked with a move back to the Premier League.
