There is no gift in this world that can reward every sacrifice you made for me

Why he didn't have a good time at Inter Milan?

Rey, along with his entire family, has always been an Inter Milan fan and rejoiced for the Scudetto. 

He joined Inter Milan on July 14, 2015, by signing a five-year contract for a 1 million euro fee. 

During his time at Inter Milan, he was loaned out to Pescara from 2016 to 2017, Pisa in 2017, and Granada from 2017 to 2018. 

He was suspended from Pescara due to his behavior. 

Massimo Oddo, the coach of Pescara, said Manaj was out for disciplinary reasons, and he was not there to tell what had happened in the dressing room, but that day, something happened that should not have happened. 

Oddo added he prefers to take a player from the youth team instead of a player who does not know how to behave. 

During an interview, Rey said that his time in Inter Milan was not good because he didn't have the right attitude. 

At that time, his parents had told him to be humble, but he did not understand why it was important. 

They also advised him not to do things, but he was wrong. He also said his maturity is thanks to his family.
