Fabrizio Romano gives a major update on Liverpool player going to Barcelona

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been linked with a potential return to Barcelona, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has downplayed these rumors in his recent column for the Daily Briefing.

Romano, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside, emphasized that Thiago’s situation hasn’t significantly changed since he opted to stay at Liverpool during the summer, turning down interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.

Although Thiago has been sidelined due to injury this season, he could still play a role for Liverpool upon his return.

Despite his age and the possibility of Jurgen Klopp considering long-term options, Thiago’s exceptional natural ability remains evident.

Fabrizio Romano on Thiago’s transfer situation

Speculation has arisen about a surprise return to Barcelona, but Romano has tempered such talks.

Romano explained,

“I’ve had some fans asking me about stories involving Thiago Alcantara and a surprise potential return to Barcelona this January. Of course we know that Barca are now short in midfield after the lengthy injury to Gavi, but it’s too early to know if they’re going to replace him, or who they could target.”

He further noted,

“With Thiago, I’m not aware of concrete talks with Barca so far. As I previously reported, Barca’s priority is to register Vitor Roque before deciding on the midfielder situation. For now there are no changes, and no concrete developments on how to act with replacing Gavi.

It’s also worth remembering that Thiago said no to Saudi clubs in July as he wanted to stay at Liverpool. As far as I’m aware there has been no change to his situation since then.”
