Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde is said to be looking to create his ideal Barcelona midfield and has reportedly taken interest in Lazio’s sensation Luis Alberto. According to Don Balon, he also is to attend Sunday’s Derby della Capitale in Rome to take a closer look at Alberto.
On the other hand, Lazio is said to be interested in Barcelona’s midfielder Denis Suarez, which could open up for a possible swap deal between the both clubs during the summer.
If Alberto was to leave Rome for Barcelona, it would be a return to old quarters since the midfielder played for Barcelona B on a loan deal during the 2012/13 season.
