Luis Alberto, capped once by Spain, has played 170 competitive games with the Aquile, scoring 34 times and contributing 47 assists in the process.

Il Messaggero reports patron Claudio Lotito wants to keep the attacking midfielder in the Iatlian capital and the player is tied to a contract with the Aquile until June 2025.

But after reports of interest from European giants, a huge offer would have the Biancocelesti consider letting the player leave and the newspaper claims Lotito would demand an offer of at least €70m.
