According to Football Espana, “Lazio winger and Spain international Luis Alberto has been linked with a return to Sevilla by reports in the Spanish press. The 26-year-old spent nine years at the Andalusian club rising through the youth ranks before joining Liverpool in the summer of 2013. He has since enjoyed loan stints at Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna before joining Lazio permanently in 2016, and a year later he earned his first full international cap for Spain. The winger posted a photo on his Instagram account of him dining in a well-known Seville restaurant alongside several sports agents, writing how nice it was to be back in the city. El Desmarque also reports Alberto met with Sevilla legend Pablo Blanco, who continues to work for the club and is close to current Director of Football Joaquin Caparros.”
