Barcelona B

On 1 September Luis Alberto made his league debut, playing the last seven minutes in a 1–0 home win against Manchester United in place of Philippe Coutinho.[11] On 15 December, shortly after having scored a hat trick in an under-21 match with the Reds, he provided an assist for Luis Suárez in the 5–0 away demolition of Tottenham Hotspur.[12]

On 26 June 2014, Luis Alberto was loaned to Málaga CF in a season-long move.[13] In the league opener, on 23 August, he scored the only goal in a home victory against Athletic Bilbao.[14]

On 5 July 2015, Luis Alberto agreed a loan move to Deportivo de La Coruña subject to a medical the following day. There, he linked up with manager Víctor Sánchez, who was previously in Sevilla's coaching staff.[15]
