Liverpool have significantly strengthened their midfield this summer with the signings of World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is looking to rejuvenate his squad following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain and Mac Allister and Szoboszlai may not be the only midfielders Liverpool sign before the transfer window closes. And the huge money on offer in the Saudi Pro League could force Liverpool to accelerate their midfield rebuild even more.
Both Thiago and club captain Jordan Henderson are reportedly on the radar of Saudi clubs and their potential departures would leave Liverpool needing to sign yet more midfielders. Thiago was expected to leave Anfield on a free transfer following the end of next season, but could now depart this summer.
