Liverpool supporters are expecting a busy summer of transfer speculation but it had seemed that our main interest would be those arriving at the club and not departing but Thiago Alcantara has just provided us all with a major shock.
As reported by The Anfield Edition: ‘Thiago has removed LFC from his Instagram bio’.
With the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai meaning that we have only one non-homegrown player spot remaining, that suggests that both Romeo Lavia and Khephren Thuram can’t arrive this summer.
But, even if this is a blow to see the Spanish international leave the club, it could open the door to complete two more midfield signings this summer.
This could all mean that we are set to lose a very talented member of the squad but the opportunities that could arise from this, may mean that this is an update that could work out for the best in the long-term for all parties.

#Ep78 of The Empire of the Kop Podcast: Romeo Lavia to Liverpool?!
The potential arrival of Thuram and Lavia has zero impact on Thiago’s place as a non homegrown player. Thuram at 22 would not take up a non homegrown slot and Lavia is classed as homegrown as he came through City’s academy.
To be honest, Liverpool FC is unable to win against the Top Four next season. Go in market and try to buy top players to close the gap with Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, MU ans Newcastle.
Mac Allister, Szesbolah, Kephren are all players who can’t add nothing to LFC’s team.
There are no defensive players now without Konate and Alisson
Virgil van Dijk is down. Alexander isn’t good in defense. Robertson is tired. The Two Joë now, are good for Volley. So, what kind of LFC are you trying to rebuild?For Champioship?
