Manuel García Quilón who is Mario Suarez agent confirmed interesting news regarding his client and Italian clubs. He spoke exclusively to MilanNews.it and here are his words:
“Mario Suarez to Milan? I don’t know, He was monitored by three Italian clubs in January, those were Milan, Inter and Napoli. He’s is a spectacular player, and the Italians wanted him.”

decent maybe, but not spectacular!
We almost had him…
Sami Keidra is leaving this summer for free.. Might as well get him instead of Mario Suarez.
How expensive is he?
I don’t think he is worth more than 10-12 million, but you have to remember how Real Madrid players can make a huge impact in inters team and some are players that madrid didn’t see the potential with them or just simply thought they weren’t that important. To name a few: Samuel, cambiasso(free transfer) and sneijder.. i don’t think I need to elaborate further on what Madrid missed out on those three lol.
