Milan were linked with a number of wingers throughout the winter mercato – including the Watford star – but in the end none arrived.
However, the Spaniard doesn’t want to rule out the possibility of a return to the club this summer.
“It’s nice that clubs are interested and Milan, as I say, I have a special appreciation. I do not close the door to a return in the future,” the Spaniard said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo (via SportWitness).
“My time at Milan was the happiest. I felt very loved there, I enjoyed football a lot. From the first moment they told me what they wanted from me, they trusted my game and I helped the club.”
Us Watford fans are a strange breed, if a manager moves to a “bigger” [sic] club they mostly get castigated but for players it’s almost expected … and is usually with our blessing.
Of course that will all change once we’re established Champions League, then they can all go to rot!
