Fabrizio Romano talks about Thiago and Liverpool amid Saudi links
Spanish midfield maestro Thiago Alcantara whose presence has graced Anfield and Liverpool since his arrival in 2020, finds himself entwined in a tale of potential change and unanswered questions.
As Fabrizio Romano’s recent update sheds light on Thiago‘s future, Liverpool supporters find themselves contemplating the enigma that surrounds his path. On Youtube, here is what the journalist had to say about the 32-year-old Spaniard amid his links with the Saudi Pro League:
“We heard rumours about Thiago and Saudi Arabia. It’s true that they approached him but at the moment the situation is not advanced at all because Thiago wants to play for Liverpool. He is out of contract next summer so we will see.”
Thiago’s journey in the red jersey has been a dichotomy of brilliance and frustration. His technical mastery, exquisite ball control, and unparalleled vision have illuminated Liverpool’s midfield, injecting a touch of elegance into their high-octane gameplay.
Yet, his time on Merseyside has remained peppered with injury setbacks, disrupting the continuity that both player and club surely craved. Despite his links to Saudi, the situation remains far from advanced, with Thiago’s affinity for Liverpool shining through. Romano’s words echo Thiago’s unwavering desire to don the Liverpool shirt and contribute to the club’s ongoing journey.
Thiago at the Reds
The Spanish midfielder’s contract expiration in 2024 (Transfermarkt) raises intriguing questions, adding an element of suspense to his future with the club. While the present may be defined by his commitment and dedication to Liverpool’s cause, what follows after that is when the questions arise. Thiago’s contract timeline opens the door to speculation about potential contract extensions, renegotiations, or the contemplation of new horizons.
All of that depends on his levels of fitness coupled with his performance levels this season. However, it would be unwise of Liverpool to let him go this summer. His presence in midfield goes beyond his range of passing and elegance.
At 32 years of age, he is the senior-most midfielder at the club and people surely look up to him with loads of expectations and hopes that they would learn and improve their own styles of play.

Thiago’s narrative is emblematic of the intricate choices that define a footballer’s career trajectory. Balancing loyalty to a club with personal ambitions and opportunities is a delicate dance. However, he is too precious to let go of. His value to the club is much greater than the transfer fee he would bring in if he was to switch clubs.
