Barcelona ‘offered Liverpool star’ as the preferred candidate for Jürgen Klopp to lead Borussia Dortmund

 

Liverpool’s final game of the year was played. It will have to wait to find out if it will finish 2023 as the league’s top team. Mikel Arteta’s team might do so after Arsenal lost 2-0 to West Ham, but they will have another opportunity to take the lead when they travel to Fulham on New Year’s Eve.

 

The transfer rumours will reach new heights when Liverpool takes on Newcastle the next day. After all, starting on January 1, clubs are able to modify to their teams, something the Reds will need to give serious thought to as they get closer to a title campaign that could come as a surprise.

 

However, there is also a possibility of exits in addition to potential arrivals. Liverpool is anticipated to reevaluate a few loan decisions; Nat Phillips, whose move to Celtic failed to result in much playing time, is probably going to be farmed out somewhere. Permanent sales of some players are also not completely out of the question.

In light of this, it is said that Barcelona has been offered one star. Borussia Dortmund is said to have taken notice of a former Liverpool player who is making his way in coaching somewhere on the continent—no, it’s not Xabi Alonso. In advance of the start of the transfer market, here is Liverpool.com’s analysis of some of the most important stories pertaining to European football today.

 

Thiago Alcântara was ‘offered’ by Barcelona.

Barcelona may arrange for Thiago Alcântara to make an unexpected comeback. The midfielder played in 68 league games over four trophy-filled seasons with the Catalans before to joining Bayern Munich.

Returning to Camp Nou has been discussed for some time, but many have speculated that any possible move would happen in the summer, when the financially strapped team could sign the elite operator without having to pay a transfer fee. However, Más Que Pelotas says that an approach for Thiago might come in January despite Gavi’s season-ending injury.

 

The genuine assertion is that Barcelona has received a “offer” for Thiago before the winter transfer market opens. It’s unknown if Liverpool or the player’s representation have made any such offer, assuming it is legitimate.

Nuri Şahin was courted as Dortmund’s coach. As a Liverpool player, he isn’t exactly the most remembered person. While he briefly displayed brilliance at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers was never able to bring out the best in him, and his six-month loan from Real Madrid was terminated in order for him to return to Borussia Dortmund.

 

When he was in charge of Dortmund, Jürgen Klopp was a huge fan of the team he is most closely identified with. However, he left after graduating to play for Werder Bremen and subsequently Antalyaspor in Turkey, where he has been manager since 2021.
