Thiago is set to leave Anfield this summer. Saudi Arabian League and Southampton's Romeo Lavia will be the next midfielder on Jurgen Klopp's radar.
Thiago has one year left on his current contract and Liverpool have no intention of renewing his terms. That makes a sale this summer more tempting than giving the 32-year-old a free transfer next year.
Saudi clubs have expressed a desire to speak with the midfielder and have found that Liverpool are willing to accept him. the idea that Thiago could move on if he so desired.
His decision could influence whether Klopp spends big money on a third midfielder during this transfer window as he has already committed £95m Sterling for Alexis McAllister and Dominik Soboslaj.
Versatile, young and versatile midfielders have always been Klopp's top priority. ahead of next season. Specialist #6 is also being considered in the long term, but this depends on how many members of the squad leave before August.
Liverpool have Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, teenager Stefan Baisetic and Thiago, who have played midfield roles at various times. Liverpool recruiters are mindful of the age profile of those in this critical position and while Henderson and Fabinho remain senior players, Thiago will face a battle for playing time in the upcoming season given Liverpool's recruiting is aimed at those who are more competes directly with it. place.
Saudi Arabia's move to Thiago raises the possibility of Liverpool making a formal approach to Lavia, but his £50m valuation is seen as too prohibitive for Klopp to make the move. At this stage, it is unlikely that Liverpool will make an offer without receiving sales money, especially since Klopp would also like to add a young defender before the start of this season.
No matter how much the transfer fee is. Liverpool got it, Thiago is one of the highest paid clubs earning over £10m a year.
What seems clearer is that if Liverpool do sign another midfield contract , Lavia is most likely the same as him. a long-term goal and is in line with the profile of the club. As with Soboslai, Liverpool will also need to act soon to fend off interest from other clubs. It is understood that Manchester City have included a buyout clause in Lavia's contract, which will come into effect in 2024.
Thiago has hinted that his days at Anfield are coming to an end by removing Liverpool from his on Instagram on Monday.< /p>
Signed from Bayern Munich for £20m, his first season was cut short by injury but came to the fore during a four-time bid in 2022. Last year was more disappointing as injuries resurfaced.
