Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the AC Milan ace.
Liverpool’s proposed big money move for Lyon ace Nabil Fekir failed to materialise 10 days ago, and Jürgen Klopp will surely be scouring the market for alternative options to the Frenchman.
One of the Reds’ reported targets is AC Milan winger Suso, who has a €50 million (£43.8 million) release clause inserted into his current contract with the Serie A outfit, according to Italian publication Calcio Mercato.
The Guardian claims that Liverpool are keen on signing the Spaniard, and that he himself would like to move back to Anfield.
The 24-year-old left Anfield for Milan in the January 2015, having spent four-and-a-half years on Merseyside, and he seems to have finally realised his potential at the San Siro.
He has chalked up 15 goals and 26 in 95 appearances in all competitions for Milan, and he is now considered to be the Rossoneri’s go to man.
Suso would provide excellent competition for Liverpool’s famous front three, and his exceptional technical ability combined with his direct style of play makes him ideally suited to Klopp’s setup at Anfield.
Whilst Suso would be far from a guaranteed starter for Klopp’s side, his arrival at Anfield would certainly keep Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane on their toes, and that added competition would only be a good thing for the Reds in their quest to win their first league title since 1990.
