Alberto joined Liverpool from Sevilla in 2013 for a reported fee of £6.8 million, but failed to settle at Merseyside. He didn't start any Premier League fixtures during his first year at Anfield, spent the 2014-15 season on season-long loan with Malaga CF, and spent the 2015-16 campaign on loan at Deportivo La Coruna.
