Liverpool have been linked with a move to bring Suso back to Anfield.

AC Milan star Suso has taken to Instagram to suggest that any rumours over a possible exit – with Liverpool linked – are just ‘chatter’ right now.

Suso joined Liverpool from Cadiz back in 2010, and he was often touted as a star of the future having impressed as a talented young playmaker in his native Spain.

However, Suso made just 21 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, and spend time out on loan at Almeria before leaving the Reds for Milan in 2015.

Now a Spanish international with one cap to his name, Suso has become a star in Italy, and he has impressed again this season with seven goals and three assists in 24 outings in all competitions.

Suso is now attracting interest as a result of his displays in Serie A, and recent speculation has even linked him with a shock return to Liverpool during this month’s transfer window.

Calcio Mercato have reported that Liverpool are eyeing up Suso for an Anfield return, earmarking him as a replacement for Philippe Coutinho following his blockbuster move to Barcelona.

However, Suso has this evening taken to Instagram to react to the rumours, sending a message to Milan fans reminding them that he only recently signed a new contract to stay with the club.

Suso noted that he isn’t focusing on an alleged release clause in his contract, he wants to respect Milan for their belief in him, and he only wants to stay at the San Siro rather than focus on ‘chatter’ about a return to Liverpool.

“I recently signed an important renewal,” said Suso. “I think about the pitch and my agent thinks about the transfer market. I’ve read everything: rumours, desires, supposed negotiations and inaccuracies. Let me try to clarify. Firstly: I don’t care about the release clause, on the pitch counts and in these five months we have to be protagonists.”

“Secondly: a historic and special club like Milan deserves respect, they’ve focused on me and invested a lot. Thirdly: in any case, my desire would count, and only my desire. For now I only want to stay here, everything else is just chatter,” he added.
