Suso
“I went the year the Americans [FSG] bought the club and started making lots of signings,"
"Brendan said: ‘Stay here, I’m going to keep counting on you.’ But when you’re young maybe you don’t think things through fully, don’t have the patience.
"I wanted to go to a ‘normal’ team where I could play every game and come back more mature, ready. Maybe if I was in that situation again now I wouldn’t do the same
“When I returned I had one year left on my contract.
"I wanted to renew and Liverpool wanted me to but [Adriano] Galliani called me because Milan were rejuvenating their squad. It was an offer I liked, a new challenge, wanting to feel important.
"I had been at Liverpool four years and was happy but Milan was also a big club. If it had been another club I might not have left. I would have stayed at Liverpool.”
