Sources: Liverpool will accept ‘big’ offer for Thiago in January
Liverpool would be willing to accept a “big” offer for Thiago Alcantara in January, sources have told Football Insider.
Thiago is on high wages at Anfield and the club could be tempted to sell if there is a suitably high offer in the winter window.
The 32-year-old has entered the final year of his contract which is set to expire in the summer of 2024.
Football Insider revealed (23 September), that Liverpool have opened talks with Thiago over an extension to his current deal.
The parties are in discussions over the midfielder’s contract but talks are not at an advanced stage with the club waiting to see if there is an improvement in Thagio’s availability and appearance record before making him an offer.
The former Bayern Munich man is yet to make an appearance for the Reds this season after a spell plagued by injuries since his arrival on Merseyside in 2020.
Thiago had been linked with moves to Turkey and Saudi Arabia during the summer window but nothing materialised before both of their respective deadlines.
Football Insider revealed earlier this month (14 September) that Liverpool refused to terminate Thiago’s contract to enable him to secure a last-gasp move to Turkey.
Jurgen Klopp has already bolstered his midfield with the arrivals of Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister this summer.
The Reds missed out on superstar Jude Bellingham after pulling out of a deal due to the costs a potential deal would incur.
