Barcelona interested in the signing of Liverpool star

The Catalan club are reportedly interested in the signing of Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara with the Spanish midfielder set to leave Merseyside on a free contract.

With Arne Slot set to take over the reins from Jurgen Klopp at Anfield over the summer, the club are expected to make some huge changes behind the scenes.

As the German manager’s incredible nine years in the Premier League come to an end, he is expected to be followed out the door by several players.

Although there is a lot of speculation surrounding certain players, one departure is already confirmed, Spanish midfielder Thiago.

Signing from Bayern Munich for just £20 million in 2020, the overall deal was considered a coup for one of the world’s best midfielders at the time.

But unfortunately, due to a constant string of injuries, the 33-year-old struggled to make the lasting impact many expected as he has featured just once in the Premier League this campaign.

According to a report from Spanish outlet AS, Thiago could return to his former side Barcelona as Hansi Flick is expected to replace Xavi at the Nou Camp.

Liverpool have already secured their midfield for the coming years after the signings of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo last year.
