10 Players Who Rejected Real Madrid

10. Suso

Not many players decided at such a tender age to leave their home country to join a Premier League. Not many players decide to take such a course amid interest from a huge club in said home country. But this was exactly what Suso did at only 17 years old, deciding to join Liverpool instead of Real Madrid.

In hindsight, his move to Liverpool wasn’t the best decision the young Spaniard ever made, due to the lack of appearances for the side, yet it’s amazing how he came to that decision in the first place.

“I had practically done it with Madrid until Liverpool came in. I had agreed on a contract with Real but then Rafael Benitez called me and told me he had a lot of confidence in me and that I should go to Liverpool.”

“I had wanted to play in the Premier League.”

Now away from the limelight in Liverpool, he is now rebuilding his career with AC Milan, scoring seven times in 33 outings last season, along with earning a senior cap with Spain.
