Spanish attacker Suso has been in impressive form for AC Milan this season, with two goals and four assists so far.
The 22-year-old started out at Spanish team Cadiz, before moving to the Liverpool academy in 2010.
A lot was expected from Suso at Liverpool, as he started to make a name for himself in Merseyside alongside Raheem Sterling in the youth team matches.
AC Milan’s director of sport Rocco Maiorino has been speaking to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, and was asked about the impact Suso has made this season.
He said: “I knew him when he played in Spain’s youth teams, I had seen in Estonia in the Under-19 final, and in particular I was impressed against Portugal.”
Maiorino claimed he enjoyed good relations with Suso’s agent, who informed him there was an opportunity to sign him from Liverpool.
He added: “The agent with whom I had very good relations told me that there was the ‘opportunity to take him from Liverpool’, so I immediately tried to convince Galliani.
“It might seem a risky move to go get a player that Liverpool let go considering he had done little in the first team. Instead, he took a few months to adapt to become the player he is today.”
Liverpool fans were certainly disappointed when Suso was allowed to leave, as a lot was expected of him, and many felt he wasn’t given a fair chance to prove himself at the Merseyside club.
