Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is expected to leave the club at the end of the season. According to Football Insider, United do not expect the 32-year-old to sign a new contract with them and will remain a free agent.
Thiago is in his fourth season at the Premier League club but has yet to produce the desired results due to ongoing injury problems. He has made a total of 68 league appearances so far and Liverpool expected more from him.There is no doubt that the Spain international midfielder is a world-class player when fit, but he has been plagued by injuries during his time at Anfield.
The midfielder moved to Saudi Arabia in recent months before returning to his boyhood club Barcelona. It will be interesting to see where it goes. The 46-cap Spain international is a high-class player and good enough to play for any club in the world.
Despite his age, he could still be a very useful player for many clubs and it would be great to bring him on a free transfer. For Liverpool, Thiago is not only their best player but also one of the leaders in the dressing room. The Reds need to replace him properly and it remains to be seen if they will bring in a quality central midfielder.
