Luis Alberto could leave Lazio over unpaid bonuses

Unpaid bonuses at Lazio could see Luis Alberto leave the Biancocelesti this summer, with the midfielder furious.

La Repubblica today report that yesterday, Luis Alberto didn’t train with Lazio and he didn’t travel with the club’s squad for their friendly against Aston Villa. He is involved in a dispute with the club, who are yet to pay him bonuses of about €140k and this is a new tug of war involving him and the club, after issues involving a new deal.

This has now put the midfielder’s future at the Olimpico in doubt and Claudio Lotito is said to be fairly angry at the ex-Liverpool man. For reasons unknown, a final agreement over a new deal hasn’t arrived yet. 

A clarification about his future can arrive in the next few hours and a sale can’t be ruled out. The move to Al-Duhail can be back on the cards after it was initially rejected. Lazio would look at Piotr Zielinski as a potential replacement.
