But where will Saudi Arabia stop in this summer transfer window? After getting their hands on several very high level players from the Old Continent, the Gulf country does not intend to stop there. Indeed, the Saudi Pro League would like to secure the services of a new player from Liverpool.

After the departure of Jordan Henderson for the Saudi club Al-Ettifaq and the Brazilian Fabinho for Al-Ittihad, it is now the turn of Thiago Alcantara to be tracked by Saudi Arabia. According to information from the newspaper theCrewthe Al-Ahli club have reportedly made a €12m bid to Liverpool for the Spain international.

At the end of the contract in June 2024 with the Reds, Thiago Alcantara is not yet sure to continue the adventure within the Mersey club this season. Jurgen Klopp wants to give a new dynamic to his workforce and the Spaniard could pay the price. However, the midfielder is not currently in advanced discussions with the Saudi club according to information from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

However, the adventure seems to be coming to an end with the English club for the former Bavarian. The successive arrivals of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister during this summer transfer window will increase the competition in the midfield which will be more than tough.

Since joining the 2019 European champion, Thiago Alcantara has played 97 matches for 3 goals in all competitions. This season, Liverpool will be one of the clubs to follow in the Premier League but also in the Europa League where it stands out as one of the big favorites of the tournament.
