AC Milan defender Rodrigo Ely is delighted with his preseason form.

Ely admits he had offers to leave Milan this summer.

He told Milan Channel: "I always had this bond growing up here at Milanello. I waited for the decisions of the club and when there was the option to go back I was very happy and I ran here."

Asked about working with coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, Ely was positive.

"I'm finding him good to work with. We must continue like this and surely we will do some good things."
