Luis Alberto: "The Only Place Where I Feel Comfortable Is Barcelona, The Pressure At Deportivo, Lazio, And Liverpool Is Completely Different."

Lazio midfielder, Luis Alberto has issued a statement that has left the club confused after he admitted that he hopes to return to Spain to play there soon.

29-year-old midfielder Luis Alberto is still under contract until June 2025 but his future is in doubt and he arrived late for pre-season training last summer.

He even has to compete with Toma Basic for a place in coach Maurizio Sarri's starting line-up even though he has so far contributed three goals and seven assists in 23 Serie A games this season.

Speaking on Twitch channel Jijantes FC Spain, he acknowledged his desire to return to Spain by stating that he is looking forward to it, and is still waiting to see if he can make his wish come true as soon as possible.

"There is always talk about my future, if I want to leave or stay, to be honest, I've had a difficult time, but then an agreement has been reached with the club and we are working for the good of the team.

"We're slowly learning about the coach's tactical concepts, as usual, results help boost confidence."

Meanwhile, his contract with Biancoceleste was extended in 2020 and will last until June 2025. He played for Sevilla, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Deportivo La Coruna, and Liverpool before moving to the Italian capital club in 2016.

"I've always said that the only place where I feel comfortable is in Barcelona, ​​I enjoy everything, my day-to-day work. The pressure at Deportivo, Lazio, and Liverpool is completely different.

Luis Alberto only carved one cap with the La Roja senior team which he got in November 2017.
