One of AC Milan's most promising young players has spread panic around the corridors of the San Siro after admitting that he would find an approach from one of Spain's biggest clubs difficult to turn down.

Spanish winger Suso has been discussing his future in an interview with Italian publication 'Il Fatto Quotidiano', and as is to be expected with a Spanish player, the question was asked about how he would react to an approach from either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

The former Liverpool man told the newspaper that he wants to remain with his current employers, who he considers to be one of the biggest sides in Europe, and to dispell the doubts that exist about the efectiveness of his style of play and the question marks over his performances.

An impressive season last time out that saw him score seven goals and create 11 more in 37 games in all competitions led to interest from elsewhere but the Cadiz-born winger was not willing to listen to any offers. But what would he do if the phone rang and it were Real Madrid or Barcelona on the other end?

"Last summer Roma, Napoli and Inter all wanted to sign me, but I wasn't prepared to listen to their offers. My wish was to stay with AC. It's true that if it were Real Madrid or Barcelona that called me it would be difficult to say no," admitted the former Spain U21 international with a wry smile, though he later went on to reaffirm his commitment to AC.

Suso also took the opportunity to comment on the impressive performances of Serie A rivals Napoli so far this season saying that everyone should watch Maurizio Sarri's side play when they get the chance.
