Luis Alberto has ended his protest and returned to the Formello training center. The mercurial star held out for a few days because the Biancocelesti didn’t finalize the agreement on an extension and owed him previous bonuses, Il Messaggero relays.
The ace was accompanied by his agents, who had a long talk with the brass. The signature might not be forthcoming, but the case appears to be solved. An abrupt exit isn’t likely. President Claudio Lotito had slammed the player for his behavior.
“Luis Alberto has to apologize, but I don’t know if it’ll be enough.”
The midfielder reportedly angered his teammates and coach too. He explained his reasoning to them. He had skipped two practice sessions and a friendly against Aston Villa in Birmingham, which ended in a 0-3 loss.
Maurizio Sarri was considering making him the vice-captain following the departure of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The manager will probably change his mind after what occurred.
Our Take on Lazio and Luis Alberto
All things considered, the controversy didn’t last long, and he didn’t have a ton to harp on since getting a new deal and a pay bump isn’t really a right. His complaints were more justified in other cases. Despite bagging Daichi Kamada, the Biancocelesti couldn’t afford the situation to linger. His departure would have been very hard to stomach. All is well, for now.
