Liverpool FC is starting to make the necessary adjustments for next season. The Anfield team has added important elements in the midfield, and now, unexpectedly, they may suffer the delicate departure of a player to FC Barcelona. This is a player who could be one of the best in his position, but was not the best under the orders of Jurgen Klopp.

Everything points to Thiago Alcántara's departure in the 2023/24 season. The former FC Barcelona youth player has a lot of competition in Liverpool's midfield after the signings of Dominik Szoboszlai (they paid 70 million euros to RB Leipzig) and Alexis Mac Allister (they paid 42 million), so the 'red' board is willing to listen to offers for the Spanish international.

A circumstance that, together with the presence of 'red' captain Jordan Henderson and the potential of young midfielders such as Stefan Bajcetic, Curtis Jones or Harvey Elliott, recently crowned champions of the European Under-21 Championship with England, makes Thiago's role in Klopp's plans for next season questionable.

 

Will Thiago leave for FC Barcelona?

The former Barcelona midfielder can easily play as a pivot or inside midfielder, a position he used to occupy during his time at Barça. Thiago and Xavi played together for a couple of seasons before Bayern Munich signed him for €25 million in 2013.Liverpool would accept an offer in the region of €20 million.
