Spurs target: I could have left Milan this summer
The former Liverpool flop was rumoured to be wanted by Tottenham and, after a blockbuster season with AC Milan, available for €50 million.
Yet the deal fell through, something which Suso may be hinting at as he spoke to Sky Italia.
“As I’ve always said, I’m very happy with the club. I could have left, but I stayed and I’m very happy. There is a release clause, I think that if I had wanted to leave I wouldn’t have renewed my deal: maybe I could have waited a little and left for a low price.”
These suggestive remarks say a lot about Suso’s start of the season: the scorer of five goals and provider of three assists, the former Liverpool trainee has also found himself being shoved into the lineup as a second striker, something which hasn’t gone down well with fans.
The 21-year-old has still managed five goals in the league, and three Serie A assists, too.
