Lazio’s Luis Alberto ignited a flurry of transfer market speculation by expressing his intention to depart in the summer. The Spanish midfielder, aged 31, has been a linchpin for the Biancocelesti since his arrival from Liverpool in August 2016, featuring prominently under both Simone Inzaghi and Maurizio Sarri.
The controversy ensued when Luis Alberto publicly declared his desire to leave on a free transfer after Lazio’s victory over Salernitana, a notion swiftly dismissed by president Claudio Lotito, who insisted on the necessity of a buying club.
According to transfer market expert Matteo Moretto, Lazio recently informed the midfielder that he wouldn’t feature prominently in Igor Tudor’s upcoming plans, with discussions about his future slated for the season’s end. Luis Alberto has harbored aspirations of returning to Spain, with Cadiz emerging as an appealing destination.
The rift between Luis Alberto and Lazio, fueled by his unforeseen statements, necessitates resolution come summer. However, any move to Spain would likely require a compromise on his current €4 million net annual salary.
