Liverpool have been linked with a move for AC Milan winger Suso, who they offloaded just over four years ago for absolute peanuts.
Having signed to the Liverpool academy as a youngster, he progressed through to the first-team but only made 21 appearances before leaving for Milan for just £1 million in compensation, six months before his contract was due to expire.
He's blossomed in Italy, impressing on loan and then going on to become a key player for the Rossoneri since returning to the San Siro.

This season, he has four goals and eight assists in 15 Serie A appearances and is seen as a hugely important part of Gennaro Gattuso's side.
Liverpool have clearly been alerted by his performances and it's been reported by Liga financial that the Anfield club are preparing a £40 million bid for the 25-year old (€50 million euros).
In September 2017, Suso signed a new contract with Milan to keep him at the club until 2022 and when speculation surrounding his future emerged in January this year, both the club and he were quick to bat it away.

"Milan were very clear with Suso in the summer: We're not selling you even for €80 million (£71 million)," a post on the club's official website read.
"That was how the outstanding Spaniard was convinced in September to sign a new contract in what was a very important operation for Milan."
Is Suso good enough to play for Liverpool now?
