However, it is clear that Liverpool would be open to allowing Thiago to leave Anfield if the right circumstances arise.
A well-informed source reveals that Liverpool may be receptive to letting the midfielder go due to his injury concerns.
The financial offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, who have shown interest in acquiring Thiago’s services. This could prove tempting for the Reds.
However, before sanctioning Thiago’s departure. Liverpool would need to reinforce their midfield by making new signings as part of their highly anticipated squad rebuild.
