Thiago Alcantara could consider a move to Saudi Arabia as an option, as he looks likely to leave Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer.
According to Football Insider, Saudi Arabia could emerge as a big option for Thiago Alcantara to consider ahead of the summer. The 33-year-old Liverpool star will leave the club on a free transfer when the season ends, with the Reds unlikely to offer him a new deal.
Is Saudi Arabia an option for Thiago Alcantara?
There have been no active links so far for Thiago Alcantara to move to Saudi Arabia, but a move to the Saudi Pro League could become a good option, as per the report. The experienced midfielder is on the brink of a departure from the club, with the chances of the Spaniard playing again under Jurgen Klopp also looking less likely.
Thiago has suffered a series of muscle injuries since the season began, with the 33-year-old Liverpool star only playing five minutes of Premier League football this season. The fans may have expected more from him since he came through from Bayern Munich, but he has performed in flashes.
As he gears up for an exit in the summer, Thiago has already instructed his agent to find a new club. Where that remains the question, but as per the report, a move to Saudi Arabia could potentially be on the cards for the 33-year-old Liverpool star.
Saudi Arabia is always looking for players who could improve their league standards, and Thiago is a name that is big enough for them to consider. Now, there’s no information on which of the Saudi clubs are keen on the 33-year-old Liverpool star, but soon there might be some enquiries with his agents.
A return to Spain is also an option
Thiago’s potential availability for a free transfer could alert several clubs, including some from Spain. Their former side, Barcelona has been linked lately, but there’s no clarity on whether they are actually keen to bring him back to Catalonia.
The 46-cap Spanish international still has what it takes to offer something big at the top level, and hence, Barcelona could become an option. There are Turkish sides keen as well, meaning Thiago will have plenty of choices to consider when his contract ends in the summer.
