The 21-year-old is set to end a five-year stint on Merseyside by linking up with Filippo Inzaghi’s men later this year, although some reports suggest he might leave in January

AC Milan have confirmed that Suso has signed a deal which will see him leave Liverpool at the end of his contract in the summer to join San Siro.

Reports surfaced on Wednesday that the Spaniard had agreed a four-year deal with the Rossoneri and, hours later, it was announced on the club’s official television channel that Suso would link up with Filippo Inzaghi’s squad at the end of 2014-15.

The 21-year-old has spent four and a half years at Anfield after being bought in 2010 and developed in the academy, however he has failed to make a real breakthrough from the bench on Merseyside into the first team.

Suso is expected to undergo a Milan medical in the next few weeks, with his agent having previously suggested that the Italian giants will try to reach an agreement with Liverpool to bring him to Serie A in January instead of waiting until July.

The attacking midfielder has made appearances for Spain at every youth level, which included winning the Under-19 European Championship in 2012, although he is yet to play for the senior international side.

Suso, who has only just returned from a groin injury, has made 21 first-team appearances for Liverpool since making his debut in 2012.
