The Belgian’s current deal is due to expire in June, so he could already be talking to different clubs for a new experience as a free agent.

Valencia have joined Roma, Getafe and Atletico Madrid in asking after Milan winger Suso, claim Marca, after he requested a January transfer.

Suso has reportedly asked to move on and Milan are more than willing to sell, so they can reinvest in other areas of the team.
