An impressive season on loan for Liverpool’s Luis Alberto at Deportivo La Coruna could secure the attacking midfielder a permanent deal.

And the Spaniards may be keen on finding a home for another Liverpool signing who has not quite made the grade.

Alberto has scored six goals on his return to La Liga after failure to break through at Anfield following his £6.8m arrival from Sevilla in June 2013.

Throw in another five assists and you can see why La Coruna might be keen to make the 24-year-old’s deal a permanent one.

Alberto spent last year on loan at Malaga but AS in Spain now report that Depor will seek a permanent move to the Riazor for the player.

The club sit in a midtable 10th in La Liga and see Alberto as a fine foil for Lucas Perez who has scored 15 goals this season.

Amid rumoured extra interest from Valencia and with a contract which runs until 2018, Liverpool should be able to negotiate a fee which returns most if not all their investment in the player.

Centre back Tiago Ilori has also failed to make the final step into a regular Liverpool first team berth although he finally made his Reds debut this year in the FA Cup game at Exeter, also starting the Anfield replay and the replay against West Ham at Upton Park.

Jurgen Klopp’s priorities at centre back appear elsewhere and Depor officials are said to be interested in a move for the 23-year-old Portuguese youth international.
