Thiago Alcantara is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season as Girona plans a summer transfer ahead of their debut season in the Champions League

The news of Thiago Alcantara’s potential departure from Liverpool has stirred up speculation and interest in the footballing world. After a four-year tenure at Anfield and somewhat underwhelming performances due to struggles with injuries, the midfielder has announced that he will not be extending his contract with the 19-time Premier League winners. As such, the possibility of a move to the La Liga side Girona in the upcoming summer transfer window has generated significant attention.

Thiago’s arrival at Liverpool in the summer of 2020 from Bayern Munich was highly anticipated, with fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to witness his exceptional talents on the field. Although hampered by injuries during his time with the Reds, his skills and potential were evident, prompting Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to praise him as a “world-class player.” Klopp expressed regret about Thiago’s injury struggles, stating, “In a different world, I would love to see the career without injuries. He can do things with a football that I didn’t think was possible.”

Reports from Relevo have indicated that Girona, a team that surprised the footballing world by competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the title race in Spain, is keen on securing Thiago’s services. Having confirmed their presence in next season’s Champions League group stage, Girona is looking to bolster its squad as it prepares for its debut in Europe’s premier club competition. However, Girona may face a significant obstacle in the form of Thiago’s substantial wages, as the midfielder earned close to €10 million per season with Liverpool. The prospect of a move to Catalonia would likely necessitate a substantial pay cut, as Girona may not be able to match his current salary.

As Thiago prepares to bid farewell to the Reds supporters at Anfield during Liverpool’s final match of the season against Wolves on May 19, the football community will closely watch the developments surrounding his potential transfer to Girona. Simultaneously, Girona will be focusing on their remaining matches against Valencia and Granada as they strive to secure a strong finish in La Liga, aiming to potentially surpass Barcelona and secure second place. The impending movements of both Thiago and Girona have undoubtedly captured the imagination of football fans and pundits alike as the transfer window approaches.
