Liverpool open talks with Spanish club over duo
DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA have reportedly opened talks with Liverpool over Luis Alberto and Tiago Ilori.
Luis Alberto in action for Deportivo La Coruna
Alberto is currently on loan at Deportivo and has seemingly impressed enough for the Spanish club to want to keep him.
He's scored six goals this season, forming a promising partnership with winger Lucas Perez.
Ilori started the 2015/16 campaign at Aston Villa on a season-long loan but it was cut short in January after he failed to make an appearance.
A defensive injury crisis saw the Portuguese defender make three starts in the FA Cup for Liverpool this season but he appears to be surplus to requirements at Anfield.

And according to Spanish newspaper AS, Deportivo's technical director has been in touch with Liverpool over having both players at the club next season.
Alberto and Ilori's contract both end in 2018.
