“In Colombia he has the confidence of the coaching staff, which is the most important thing for a footballer.
“Here he is supported by everyone, as was the case in his first year in Madrid.
“My priority is Milan but I know there are offers and interest in me from clubs in Spain, England, Germany and France,” he added.
