It has now been stated that Serie A side Lazio have paid a fee of £4.3m up front with a further £1.7m in add-ons depending on European qualification, in order to secure the services of Luis Alberto from Premier League outfit Liverpool. The Merseyside club have also inserted a 30 percent sell-on clause in the deal for their talented attacker, who was unhappy with the opportunities that he was currently getting in England.

Alberto was a signing made by former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, though he failed to establish himself at Anfield after arriving for a price of £6.8m three years ago and had made a total of just 12 appearances in his first season with the Reds.

The 23-year-old Spaniard spent the last two campaigns on loan at in Spain with side’s like Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna and though he does have potential, could not find a place in the Reds’ starting eleven.
