Sevilla admit Liverpool interest in Luis Alberto – Football News
Spanish side has admitted the interest from Liverpool for the young midfielder, Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-c4309 and have insisted that the English side needs to improve their offer. There has been strong interest from the Merseyside giants as they
look to sign Alberto, who is considered to be one of the stars for the future.
Sevilla’s sporting director, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Verdejo, stated that the Reds have approached for the midfielder recently and they are showing good interest in signing the player. He admitted that Liverpool have also made an offer for the midfielder
which is being considered.
Verdejo added that Barcelona did not activate their buying clause for the player when he was at loan for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B side for the previous campaign. This meant that Liverpool will have no competition to sign the player from
Sevilla.
The sporting director stated that the club has received a concrete offer from the English side and his club is considering the fee.
“Luis Alberto is Sevilla's because Barcelona have not exercised their option to purchase. Interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 is real but nothing is signed. The player has received an important offer, but at the moment he is a Sevilla player.
The first offer the club has is very good, but we are not satisfied yet,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Verdejo added that Luis Alberto is certainly a better player from last year and is convinced of the player’s ability. He stressed that no decision has been made over the future of the player and that talks are ongoing.
“As it stands, we all agree that he now has a better value in the market and has grown as a footballer. The offer we have on the table is a very good one with respect to where Luis is currently. To date, we haven't accepted the
offer,” he concluded.
Liverpool are reported to have made a £7 million offer for the player and there is a great chance an agreement will be reached in the next few days. The midfielder scored 11 times for Barcelona B last season and was a huge success.
