Liverpool fans will be aware that this summer will likely see the club try and sign some new players to match the plans of our new coaching staff and transfer hierarchy.
Therefore, the chance to bank some extra funds for the kitty would be very welcomed and that may be coming our way, thanks to a deal for a former Red.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via Football Italia): ‘Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto is set to join Al-Duhail for €10m, and his former club Liverpool will get a 12% fee, paid by the Qatari club’.
After leaving Anfield in 2016, many may have even forgotten that Luis Alberto was our player but a sensible sell-on fee is set to bolster our funds.
The Spanish midfielder has spent the last eight years with Lazio and it seems now that he is ready to make a move to the middle east, exiting top level European competition.
The 31-year-old joining Al-Duhail on a permanent €10m transfer would never have been thought of a positive for Arne Slot but could help capture another key target on his list.
