“For the second year in a row, he has expressed his desire to end his career in Spain, in Seville more precisely. I don’t know if I will have him here at the beginning of September. He is an intelligent boy, a great player, with great character. Maybe a bit peculiar”. These were the words of Lazio coach Maurizio Sarriin an interview with Corriere dello Sport in reference to Luis Alberto and that yesterday they toured Seville. Still in Rome, where the farewell of the footballer from San José del Valle is getting closer and closer, whose only wish is to return to Seville Football Club.
Despite everything, the operation is far from easy, due to the claims of a Lazio who renewed Luis Alberto two years ago with a contract until June 30, 2025 and because it is not, at the moment, a priority for monchibut rather an opportunity to jump on it when the defense is already closed as long as Lazio’s tough negotiating president, Claudio LotitoLower your expectations.
And it looks like he’ll be willing to do it, because it’s not suitable for the dressing room of Sarri retain a player who wants to leave for the second consecutive year. Aware of this, the Lazio wanted to cover his back and that the possible exit from Luis Alberto At the end of the market he was not caught off guard, so he would have already closed his replacement, always to the detriment of the departure of the player from Cadiz. This is affirmed by various media in Italy and among them the journalist Nicolò Schira, who announces a principle of agreement between the Lazio and the Hellas Verona for Ivan Ilic in exchange for 13 million plus two bonuses and that he would sign a contract until 2027.

But the agreement would only be sealed in the event of the departure of Luis Alberto, which is still simmering. Serbian Ilic it is very to the taste of Sarriwho had repeatedly asked the player, so that he did not take a dim view of Cadiz’s departure for Sevilla.
The possible formula for the signing of Luis Alberto
As we have said, the incorporation of Luis Alberto not a priority at the moment monchi, although he is undoubtedly a player to his liking and who knows the Nervionense house perfectly. But the man from San Fernando intends to make large investments in other positions that need more reinforcements, such as central defender, pivot or center forward. From where from Italy We are already talking about a possible formula that would make the operation cheaper this year, which is none other than that of a sale with an obligation to buy next year, in the same way as it happened Breast from Milan two and a half seasons ago. A formula that would satisfy all parties.
