AC Milan deny interest in selling Suso amid links to Liverpool return

Published on: 15 January 2018

Suso has been linked to a return to Liverpool, who he left in 2015.

AC Milan have dismissed speculation linking Suso with a move to Liverpool this winter, saying they would not even accept an offer of €80 million for him.

Suso joined Liverpool from Cadiz in 2010 but was unable to break into their first team on a regular basis. After a spell on loan with Almeria, he joined Milan in 2015 and penned a new contract through to 2022 with the Rossoneri in the summer.

The terms of that deal made it clear how highly Milan value the Spanish midfielder, and they insist they have no intention of letting him leave just six months later.

"Milan were very clear with Suso in the summer: We're not selling you even for €80 million," the club said in a statement on their website in response to a report by Tuttosport that Suso was eyeing a return. "That was how the Spanish champion was convinced in September to sign a new contract in what was a very important operation for Milan.

"All the Rossoneri players mentioned today and these days as potential transfer targets are absolutely part of the project, from [Lucas] Biglia to [Nikola] Kalinic and [Manuel] Locatelli."

Suso has scored five goals in 18 Serie A outings this season, adding a further goal in the Europe League and netting one in the Coppa Italia.

The 24-year-old also made his senior debut for Spain last November, featuring in the 3-3 friendly draw with Russia.

He has been linked with a return to Merseyside following the sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona last week.
