'Football Master'Thiago Alcantara will retire from Liverpool.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'Thiago has decided to retire from professional soccer'

Thiago was called up by Pep Guardiola in 2013 after making his professional debut with Barcelona in 2009. After seven seasons in Bayern, he moved to Liverpool after losing the main competition. Liverpool also played a key role in the team's midfield from the 2020-2021 season to the last season.

However, in the 2023-2024 season, Thiago completely hid his appearance. The injury caught him completely in the ankle. He played only one game throughout the 2023-2024 season. He played for only five minutes after the match against West Ham in April 2023, receiving a whopping £200,000 (about 340 million won) a week throughout the season, which is equivalent to Tottenham's top weekly Son Heung-min (£210,000). I couldn't avoid the stigma of being a weekly thief.

Thiago, whose contract with Liverpool expired after the season, also received attention from Saudi Arabia, but in the end, Thiago's choice seems to be retirement, not an extension of his active life.

Romano was decided by players who played for Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Spain. Thiago said it looks like it will continue, preparing for a new chapter in football after months of planning with enthusiasm and love for determination.

Meanwhile, Thiago is expected to receive great attention as a leader if he officially announces his retirement from active duty. Barcelona has already reportedly approached Thiago.

Some Spanish media outlets reported that Barcelona coach Hanzi Flick is not fluent in Spanish. He is looking for a coach who is fluent in both German and Spanish. I think Thiago is the best option' he expressed interest in recruiting Thiago.

Thiago, who ended his career somewhat unfortunately in Liverpool, is also expected to receive great attention on what path he will take after announcing his retirement from active duty.
