Suso has revealed playing in the UEFA Champions League was his "childhood dream", however, says he will 'forever' be an AC Milan fan.


The Spanish pro winger has finally realised his childhood dream of featuring in Europe's highest and most prestigious club football competition.

Suso moved to Spanish giant Sevilla from Italian top flight club AC Milan on loan, however, after the Spanish outfit qualified for the Champions League, the loan deal was made permanent.

The Spain international has expressed how delighted he is after Sevilla made it to the Champions League on Instagram.

He wrote: "Playing the Champions League was my childhood dream. Now it’s come true. Thank you, Sevilla,”

The winger and attacking midfielder also extended some gratitude to his former Italian side AC Milan after his five-year stay at the club. He wrote: “And thank you Milan, you’ve been my family for years. Forever a Rossonero.”

The Italian top flight club will rake in around €24m from the sale of the 26-year old.

In January 2015, AC Milan signed Suso from English giants Liverpool for €1.3m.
