Liverpool FC say ‘massive’ thanks to ‘incredible’ health workers
Liverpool could be set to receive an additional payment for Luis Alberto, a name that may not jog the memory of too many supporters. The Spaniard made just nine first-team appearances for the Reds before making the next step in his career with Lazio.

Alberto left for just £4.3million but Lazio could make around ten times that if they were to sell up.
The clause is likely to mean Lazio would raise their valuation of the player if they decide to sell.
The Italians have already rejected an offer worth £26m from Sevilla last summer and remain determined to keep him.
Alberto's agent has confirmed that it's his client's desire to stay with Lazio, a club where he has grown immensely.

“We are very much in sync in the conversations we are having between You First Sports Italia and the club, who are well aware of how Luis has improved and the fact he is making the difference," his agent said.
“We’re at an advanced stage and I am certain the agreement will arrive soon.”
Brendan Rodgers brought Alberto to Liverpool in 2013 but he did not start a Premier League match under the Northern Irishman.
He then spent time out on loan at Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna respectively before sealing his Liverpool exit in 2016.
