Liverpool’s midfielder Thiago Alcantara seems set to depart the club at the end of the season as his contract expires, as reported by Neil Jones on CaughtOffside. Since his transfer from Bayern Munich in 2020, Thiago has grappled with meeting performance expectations and has been hindered by persistent injuries, limiting his impact on the pitch.
The summer transfer window brought significant changes to Liverpool’s midfield, with the additions of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo bolstering squad depth and quality. The team’s stellar performances have propelled them to the top of the Premier League, clinching the Carabao Cup title by defeating Chelsea in the final. Progressing to the FA Cup quarterfinals and the UEFA Europa League last 16 further demonstrates Liverpool’s ambition on multiple fronts.
Despite the strengthened midfield options from new signings, Thiago has struggled for regular playing time this season. The Spanish midfielder has only made one appearance as a substitute in the loss against Arsenal before sustaining a muscle injury.
Speculation surrounds Liverpool’s potential transfer activity in the upcoming summer window, and it seems increasingly likely that Alcantara will leave Anfield, according to Neil Jones. The club is not expected to pursue midfield reinforcements given the current composition of their squad.
