Malaga finalising loan deal for Liverpool’s Luis Alberto

by Tom Conn | Posted on Tuesday, June 24th, 2014



Liverpool are close to finalising a deal that will send former Sevilla winger, Luis Alberto to Malaga on a one-year loan, which will see the Andalusian side pay a £1 million to the English club, in addition to playing all of the player’s wages.

According to Dominic King of the Daily Mail, Liverpool are expected announced the deal as soon as tomorrow with the 21-year-old returning to La Liga after his 9 match season at Anfield.
Almost exactly a year ago, Sevilla received a £6.8 million for the promising forward after his successful loan spell at Barcelona B, but the youngster failed to crack into Liverpool’s starting line-up, joining fellow Spanish forward, Iago Aspas.
Liverpool are hoping the loan spell under new manager, Javi Gracia will give Luis Alberto consistent minutes and allow him to reach his obvious potential.
 
Would rather have seen him go to a PL team. He's good enough for at least a few teams in the division and it would enable us to assess his real progress.
 
does whoever recommended the likes of him and aspas ever hold their hand up and say "sorry" ? I mean i'm well aware that signings don't always work out but he was obviously never up the standard Rodgers wanted as he hardly played him . What was the expectation with signing him ? Did he even have the bottle or traits for English football ? what the fuck do they look for when scouting a player ?

I reckon lads here could do a better scouting job from behind their Football manager game than half the real scouts do .
 
A year away - he'll either come back a better player and we can use him, or we'll sell him and break even on this transfer.

As Ryan says, an odd transfer but what's odder, is he can play ... I wish he'd have gotten MOses' minutes.
 
I'm glad to see that there is an actual plan for him next season and that he's going to a first division team.

He'll have to have fairly exceptional season for us to break even on the transfer but this is a positive move.

We had limited funds. We took a couple of low level punts. Neither came off. Now we have more financial muscle, CL football and are setting our sights higher. They can go. We'll replace with better. No biggie.

2 x low level punts = £14mil = one decent player we could have had! Who in their right mind is going to buy Aspas with the wages he is on. Hopefully as you say it won't happen again
