Barcelona to make a move for Liverpool star Thiago Alcantara

Barcelona are contemplating the prospect of securing the services of Thiago Alcantara, their former midfield maestro.

The highly-skilled Spanish player is currently plying his trade at Liverpool in the competitive Premier League but finds himself relegated down the team’s pecking order.

During his tenure at Liverpool, Thiago Alcantara showcased his prowess in 97 matches, netting three goals, and contributing six assists to the team’s success.

His current market valuation, as per Transfrmakt.com, stands at an impressive 12 million euros, reflecting his substantial impact on the pitch.

Additionally, Thiago also donned the national colors, representing Spain in 46 games and registering two goals.

Unfortunately, Thiago has grappled with persistent injury concerns over the past few months, prompting speculation about a potential transfer, given his advancing age.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona is open to the idea of a reunion with the talented midfielder, and this could materialize either in the upcoming January transfer window or the subsequent summer transfer period.

Barcelona’s interest in Thiago may have intensified due to an unfortunate knee injury suffered by promising midfielder Gavi. With Gavi sidelined for the remainder of the season, Barcelona are keen to bolster its midfield options, and Thiago Alcantara emerges as a viable candidate to fill the void left by the young star’s absence. This development serves as a setback for Barcelona’s manager, Xavi Hernandez, who must now navigate the challenges posed by Gavi’s extended absence.

In summary, Barcelona are actively exploring the prospect of bringing Thiago Alcantara back to the Camp Nou, recognizing the potential benefits his experience and skill set could bring to the team, especially in light of recent injury setbacks.
