Lazio are reported to be in intensive negotiations with Al Duhail to sell midfielder Luis Alberto for circa €10m.
The Spanish veteran had shocked everyone when announcing live on television that he had put in a transfer request and wanted his contract terminated by mutual consent at the end of the season.
Lazio President Claudio Lotito responded that he would only consider a departure if a suitable offer was made and he was thought to be asking for €25m.
However, Sky Sport Italia, Tuttomercatoweb and others suggest that Lazio are now discussing a sale to Qatari club Al Duhail for €10m plus bonuses.
Al Duhail next destination for Luis Alberto
Fabrizio Romano had also reported over the last few days that the player had agreed personal terms with Al Duhail.
This was rumoured to be a three-year contract earning him €8m per season including bonuses, practically double his current salary at Lazio.
Luis Alberto will turn 32 in September and first joined Lazio for €4m in the summer of 2016.
As part of that agreement, the Aquile also owe Liverpool a 30 per cent cut of his transfer fee.
