AC Milan Reportedly to Offer Suso New Contract Amid Real Madrid, Chelsea Rumours

AC Milan are reportedly planning to offer Suso a new contract in the hopes of tying him down amid rumours linking him with Real Madrid, Chelsea and former club Liverpool.

According to Corriere della Seraย (h/t Calciomercato.com), Milan want to extend his dealโ€”which currently runs until 2022โ€”by another year and increase his โ‚ฌ38 million (ยฃ33.2 million) release clause.

Calciomercato list Real and Liverpool among the teams interested in him, while Andrea Losapio of Tutto Mercato Web (h/t The Sun's Nick Howson) reported Chelsea are hoping to sign the winger too.

Susoย has started the season in superb fashion, racking up four goals and eight assists in 12ย Serieย A matches.

WhoScored.com provided further insight into the winger's impressive creativity:

When he has not been setting up his team-mates, he has offered a goal threat of his own with some impressive efforts cutting inside onto his left foot:

ESPN's Matteoย Bonettiย is among the admirers he has won this season:

If he maintains this current form, it would not be too surprising if he did attract plenty of interest in January or next summer, so a new contract and higher release clause will put Milan in a stronger position.

The 24-year-old failed to make the grade at Liverpool as a youngster, but it's clear he feels he has some unfinished business at Anfield.

In May, he told theย Guardian'sย Fabrizioย Romanoย that while he is "very happy" in Milan, he hopes to return to Liverpool:

ย "I did not play that much but I got to know Steven Gerrard and be a team-mate of players such as Luis Suarez, Philippeย Coutinhoย and Jamie Carragher. Iโ€™ll never forget my experience at Liverpool.

"Premier League football is different, I would call it special: I would like to play for Liverpool again some day. I grew up there and it is a big club."

If the Reds come back in for him, he might be tempted to jump ship in order to realise that ambition.

The Spaniard may well be similarly tempted by Real or Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea, though, so tying him down should be a priority for theย Rossoneri.
