The president of a top Italian club has admitted that the team's leader wishes to depart the club

President Claudio Lotito of Lazio has revealed that the team's veteran, Luis Alberto, desires to terminate his contract and leave the club.

Interestingly, last October, the Spanish midfielder signed a new agreement with the club extending until June 2027.

“Luis Alberto wants to leave as free agent and terminate the contract but he recently signed a new four year deal. I’m not crazy, if he wants to leave Lazio he has to bring a proposal to sign him. We’re not wasting our money”, Lotito said.

In the current season, the 31-year-old midfielder has played 39 matches for Lazio across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 8 assists. He has been with the team since 2016.

Lazio currently occupies the seventh position in Serie A. On April 19th, the Roman "Eagles" will face Genoa.
