Former Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcántara joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich. Once on the pitch, he contributes to the team both offensively and defensively, using his technique and vision to provide passes that even his own teammates cannot react to, and his years of experience and proper positioning.
However, he has struggled to adjust to the conditions in England. Every year, about one-third of his teammates are out injured, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to calculate him as a competitive force throughout the season.
His contract is up at the end of this season, and the possibility that he will leave the team at the end of the season is becoming increasingly realistic.
Barcelona, the player’s old club, is said to be interested in acquiring the player, but reports that the transfer will be moved up due to the injury of Gabi, the mainstay of the team, were completely denied by Fabrizio Romano, who is well versed in the transfer market, saying that no concrete move has been made.
“I’ve had some fans asking me about stories involving Thiago Alcantara and a surprise potential return to Barcelona this January,”
“Of course we know that Barca are now short in midfield after the lengthy injury to Gavi, but it’s too early to know if they’re going to replace him, or who they could target.”
“With Thiago, I’m not aware of concrete talks with Barca so far. As I previously reported, Barca’s priority is to register Vitor Roque before deciding on the midfielder situation. For now there are no changes, and no concrete developments on how to act with replacing Gavi.”
“It’s also worth remembering that Thiago said no to Saudi clubs in July as he wanted to stay at Liverpool. As far as I’m aware there has been no change to his situation since then.”
