Thiago Alcantara’s Instagram bio update sparks speculation of Liverpool departure

by ·

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about his future at the club after removing references to Liverpool from his bio on Instagram. The Spanish maestro, who joined the Reds from Bayern Munich in 2020, has been a pivotal player when fit under Jurgen Klopp. However, recent signings and contractual considerations have cast doubt on his long-term prospects at Anfield.

Rumors about Thiago’s potential departure gained traction after The Athletic’s James Pearce reported that Liverpool may allow him and Joel Matip to leave once their contracts expire. Nevertheless, the club had initially planned for Thiago to be part of their first-team squad for the upcoming season, unless an irresistible offer from leagues like the Saudi Pro League emerged.

In the age of social media, players’ actions can provide insights into their future plans. Twitter account Anfield Edition recently noticed Thiago’s removal of Liverpool from his Instagram bio, adding another layer of speculation to his potential exit from Anfield.

Thiago, aged 32, last posted a photo in a Liverpool shirt on May 28 when he received the PFA Community Champion award for his charitable work through the Alcantara Foundation. The player, who was born in Italy and later moved to Spain, has a decorated career having played for Barcelona and Bayern Munich before joining Liverpool.

While Thiago’s Instagram bio update may not reveal his intentions definitively, it adds to the intrigue surrounding his future. This development comes in the wake of a video posted by Liverpool, showcasing the team’s dressing room with shirts hanging up, further fueling speculation about potential departures from the club.
