Thiago Alcântara is on the verge of moving to Liverpool after the Reds agreed a deal with Bayern Munich.
The midfielder was also a target for his former club, Barcelona, before he decided to make a switch to Anfield.
That’s what Sport are saying on Friday, and the latest development around the Spain international closes the door for him to return to the Camp Nou.
At the same time, ‘another door reopens’ for the Catalan club, and it’s about the possibility of landing Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Dutchman is in his final year of contract at the Merseyside club, and his signing is ‘one of Ronald Koeman’s wishes’ for his new project at Barca.
With Thiago’s addition, the newspaper suggests it would not be surprising if the Reds would be ‘more than willing to negotiate’ the ex-Newcastle United man’s sale, despite his close relationship with Jürgen Klopp.
Thiago’s arrival could restrict Wijnaldum’s opportunities with the English champions, and as per the report, this could be another factor for Liverpool to consider offloading him.
