Former AC Milan attacker Suso has revealed that he could have joined Inter whilst Luciano Spalletti was in charge of the club.
The 26-year-old left the Rossoneri for Sevilla on a loan with obligation to buy basis in the past January transfer window and has scored one goal and tallied one assist in eight appearances since for them.
In an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia yesterday evening, the Spaniard revealed that he had held talks with other clubs but was only ever actually close to joining Inter.
“I spoke to Fiorentina last summer and we had a meeting, but I just listened out of courtesy. There was never anything concrete with Roma, either. However, I was close to joining Inter, as Luciano Spalletti had spoken to me and really wanted me at Inter,” the former Liverpool player explained in the interview.
Suso then went on to share his appreciation for Spalletti’s style of play.
“Inter were a team that played very good football with an interesting system suited to my characteristics. However, it would’ve been sad to leave AC Milan for Inter, as I was so fond of this club.”
Suso spent a total of five years with Inter’s cross city rivals and represented them no less than 153 appearances across all competitions to date.
He scored 24 goals – including some against Inter in Milan derbies – and also provided a total of 36 assists for his Rossoneri teammates.
