Liverpool’s midfielder Thiago Alcantara is facing an uncertain future at Anfield, according to former striker Stan Collymore.
With Thiago’s contract set to expire at the end of the season and a recent hamstring injury sidelining him, Collymore believes the 32-year-old may never play for Liverpool again.
Collymore’s Verdict on Thiago’s Performance
Stan Collymore expresses disappointment in Thiago’s on-field contributions since joining Liverpool from Bayern Munich in 2020.
Despite recognizing his positive impact off the pitch, Collymore believes Thiago has fallen short of expectations regarding his playing performance.
“In my opinion, he’s been average for them since he joined from Bayern Munich in 2020.”
Contract Status and Potential Departure
As Thiago’s contract with Liverpool nears its end, Collymore speculates that the club will unlikely offer the midfielder a new deal.
The 32-year-old’s injury struggles and perceived underwhelming performance contribute to the belief that his time at Anfield might end.
“His contract expires at the end of the season, and I think it’s a given that it won’t be extended.”

Injury Woes Impacting Thiago’s Liverpool Career
Collymore highlights Thiago’s recent serious hamstring injury as a significant setback that may further hinder his chances of playing for Liverpool again this season.
The injury concerns and previous fitness issues have contributed to Thiago’s struggles to establish a consistent presence in the team.
“Now Thiago is out injured with what is reportedly a serious hamstring injury, it looks like he may never play for Liverpool again.”
Potential Future Destinations
With Thiago’s Liverpool future uncertain, Collymore speculates on potential destinations for the midfielder.
The MLS or Saudi’s Pro League are suggested as likely destinations for Thiago in the summer, with Collymore expressing doubt about top European clubs pursuing the 32-year-old.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him drift off to either the MLS or Saudi’s Pro League in the summer.”

Thiago’s Legacy at Liverpool
In the concluding view, Collymore reflects on Thiago’s legacy at Liverpool, asserting that the midfielder’s best years were at Bayern Munich.
Despite his qualities, injuries and a lack of consistent game time at Liverpool have led to a perceived underwhelming phase in Thiago’s career.
“I certainly don’t think any top European club are going to make him an offer — I think this phase of his career is probably over with now.”
