The Spaniard told the club that he wanted a few more days off and didn’t want to make a fuss, but Lazio may still decide to punish him with a fine.

Luis Alberto is no stranger to tensions with the Biancocelesti management. Last season, he publicly complained on social media about the club’s decision to purchase a personalized Boeing 737, causing him to be dropped for the following game and forced to make an apology.
