Spanish winger Suso has taken a swipe at Liverpool for not showing him enough respect in his time at the club.
The attacking midfielder was allowed to join Milan at the weekend, signing a four-year deal with the Serie A outfit, but blasted the Reds for ‘not satisfying his contract demands’ after departing for Italy.
“My contract was due to expire in June but Liverpool’s offer did not satisfy me, neither economically nor in a sporting sense,” the 21-year-old told Marca.
“When I arrived I was very much a boy and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve grown, but I didn’t notice they had much trust in me.
“I wanted a change of scenery and Milan have offered me everything I needed. It’s a great club with an incredible history, although right now it’s not at its best, but my aim is to play as much as possible and return Milan to the Champions League, where it belongs.”
Cadiz-born Suso joined Liverpool from his hometown club as a teenager in 2010 despite attracting reported interest from Real Madrid, yet despite making just 14 League appearances he admitted that Steven Gerrard had made a lasting impression on him.
“What did I learn from Steven? His professionalism. He trains every day as if it was his first, as if he was a youth team player. It was a daily lesson.”
