The right-winger is a player Milan just cannot afford to give up. The player’s development has been tremendous since he first moved to the club as a teenager. In 2017 he signed a contract extension with the club, as former club Liverpool had been sniffing around to snatch the player and bring him back to the Premier League.
Suso is a starting choice as a right-winger for the team and made 35 appearances in the league. His return stands at 6 goals and 10 assists. The player himself believes that he is only playing to ‘70% of his current ability’.
His exclusion does come as a surprise to some, considering that Julen Lopetegui did hand him his international debuts at both the U-20 and U-21 level. He made a combined total of 14 appearances for his country in the lower levels.
