After a few peaceful months, which didn’t translate into an extension, Lazio and Luis Alberto are at loggerheads again. The Spaniard no-showed two practice sessions Tuesday and didn’t fly to Birmingham with the rest of his teammates Wednesday, Il Messaggero reports.
The midfielder is angry with the club over outstanding bonuses. He believes to be owed €140k. The Biancocelesti leaked that they are trying to mend fences. However, the fact that they have resumed pursuing a fairly similar player like Daichi Kamada is suspicious.
Lazio and Luis Alberto were reportedly on the verge of signing a renewal a couple of weeks ago, but they didn’t put pen to paper. His agency You First cited that as the main issue in a statement.
The maestro seemed poised for a serene summer after turning down a large offer from Al-Duhail. If they can’t solve the row in short order, the Biancocelesti will begin considering offers for him. As a hint of that, they are making another desperate attempt to lure Piotr Zielinski.
Our Take on Luis Alberto and Lazio
They just can’t catch a break this summer. They can ill-afford another to lose him too, as the midfield would be gutted. The recent buzz related to their targets does raise questions about his future, but he’s very mercurial and could still change his mind in the blink of an eye.
