Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli have made an offer to Liverpool for Thiago Alcantara, according to reports, after several of his teammates also moved to the Middle East.
Liverpool have sold Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq and Fabinho to Al-Ittihad this summer as part of their midfield overhaul. In other territory, striker Roberto Firmino has left for Al-Ahli. And now, it has emerged that Thiago could follow him.
According to L’Equipe, Al-Ahli have submitted a €12m offer to take Thiago away from Liverpool. In English money, their bid equates to around £10.4m.
Thiago is into the final year of his contract at Anfield, although links with a move to Sevilla were recently played down and there has been an expectation that he could see out his terms as a Liverpool player.
Now, though, a lucrative offer could be in store from Saudi Arabia. It is not yet clear how Liverpool will respond to Al-Ahli’s advances for the 32-year-old.
