Thiago returned to pre-season training with Liverpool on Saturday, July 8. With the Reds eager to sign a third central midfielder, Liverpool must first offload a number of senior players to raise funds for the transfer kitty, and Galatasaray’s interest in Thiago could be one big avenue in the Anfield side recouping some much-needed capital. Earning a reported £225,000-a-week, Thiago leaving Liverpool will free up plenty of space on the payroll and give Jurgen Klopp the much-needed chance to replace the 32-year-old with a younger and more suitable player for the squad.

Galatasaray being back in Europe’s elite competition will be a big selling point for the Istanbul-based side in their bid to add to the squad this summer. Liverpool paid £20m to sign Thiago from Bayern Munich in 2020 and he has gone on to make 93 appearances for the club, winning the FA Cup and the League Cup during his time in England.
