Manchester City to Restructure Squad at the End of the Season

In recent weeks, Manchester City has been planning a major restructuring of their squad after the current season. The sky blues believe it's time to part ways with several veterans and players who haven't lived up to expectations, and instead, invest in new players who can bring a breath of fresh air.

Luis Alberto on Manchester City's Radar

Among the many targets the club is considering, the name of Luis Alberto (27 years old) stands out. As reported by 90min, the Cádiz-born player has caught the attention of Pep Guardiola, who values his direct style and ability to link up play, considering him the perfect complement to Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne.

Negotiations with Lazio for Luis Alberto

Luis Alberto's contract with Lazio runs until June 2022, and his potential signing would require tough negotiations with the Italian club. Lazio has no intention of letting him go and will only consider his departure for a significant sum of money. In fact, rather than selling him, Lazio is currently focused on extending and securing his commitment.

Development at Lazio

Having come through the ranks at Sevilla, Luis Alberto had a relatively inconsistent career until he was signed by Lazio in 2016. Since then, he has found the right environment to mature as a professional. The midfielder has made 120 official appearances, scoring 23 goals and providing 39 assists, and even earning a call-up to the Spanish national team.
