The news that created the most buzz about this game was probably the announcement a few days ago that midfielder Thiago Alcántara might play for the Reds again during the first few days of January 2024. There is already a strong rumour that they are moving up to Serie A in Italy.
The Echo Liverpool portal has been handling information regarding this midfielder, who has long since ceased to be a reference within the Reds, and it is known that the former international with the Spanish national team would have his next one between two of the best teams in Italy, namely Juventus of Turin and Inter of Milan. This 32-year-old player was already nearing the end of his time as a Reds player due to the numerous injuries that kept him off the pitch all the time. This most recent injury was one of the biggest of his career as he hasn’t been able to play since April. This is independent of the arrival of several quality reinforcements to the team during the most recent summer market.
The entire fan base, which was left feeling ashamed of not being able to witness Alcántara’s full football potential aside from injuries, made a strong request for his departure. Now, that same fan base gets to witness another Spaniard reach his potential in Stefan Bajcetic, who is currently still recovering from an injury.
Covering Alcantara exit is necessary.
Due to the impending departure of this midfield player, manager Jürgen Klopp will probably look to add another player to fill the void left by Thiago. He has already put up a few intriguing offers that have surfaced in recent days, with André Trindade being the club’s top winter transfer target at the moment.
