Luis Alberto is delighted with his time at Lazio.

The veteran comes off contract in June.

He said, “I didn't get the playing time I wanted at Liverpool, then I started well at Malaga and was enjoying my football at Deportivo when I got injured.

“I made the big step up at Lazio, a wonderful club. Joining Lazio was the best decision of my life. Nobody really knew me and that was my fault. I was training by myself at Liverpool, but changed mentality with (mental coach Juan) Campillo and took that next step.

“I always said Sevilla is my home and I'd like to return there, but my future is at Lazio, so that is practically impossible. Talks are at an advanced stage for a contract extension and I think it'll come soon."
