Liverpool Transfer update - Thiago Alcantara and Philippe Coutinho

Liverpool are looking to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich this summer.

As per reports, the Reds are frontrunners to sign the midfielder who will be a free agent soon.

Thiago is a world class player when he is fit and he would improve Jurgen Klopp’s side a lot. The Reds need someone like him in their side. 

They paid big money for Naby Keita, who is a similar player. But the former Leipzig star has been injured most of the time. 

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can lure Thiago to Anfield next season. On a free transfer, he could be one of their best signing in the recent years. 

Thiago is looking for a new challenge and the Premier League could be ideal for him.

Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been tipped for a return.

Emile Heskey, the ex-Liverpool striker has claimed that the fans would love to see the Brazilian back at the club. 

He said: “Liverpool fans would love Coutinho back”. 

Coutinho will be up for grabs this summer after failing to establish himself as a starter at Barcelona. A return to Liverpool could help him rediscover his confidence.

The Brazilian played his best football at Liverpool and a return to his comfort zone could do wonders to his form.

Coutinho is young enough to make a serious impact once again and Klopp should look to bring him in for the right price.
