Luis Alberto: 'Appreciated at Lazio'

By Football Italia staff

Luis Alberto feels “appreciated” at Lazio and hopes he can do enough to earn his place in Spain’s Euro 2020 squad.

“I feel that I am appreciated at Lazio. It was difficult for me leaving Spain, but I feel that the club and my teammates are very supportive and I feel at ease here,” he told Spanish radio El Transistor.

“Going to Euro 2020 with Spain is my objective, obviously. I want to be part of that squad and will give my all to achieve that, but the choice is not up to me.”

Luis Alberto has repeatedly been linked with a return to La Liga for Sevilla.

“We were never close to saying goodbye over the summer, as neither I, nor Lazio were eager to interrupt this rapport. I still have two years on my contract with Lazio and I just want to enjoy the moment, then we’ll see what happens in future.

“It’s ultimately up to the club to decide if they want me to stay or go.”
