THREE of Liverpool’s first team midfielders could be set to leave Anfield this summer, according to reports.
The Reds bid farewell to Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the end of last season.
They were quick to acquire two midfield replacements in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but three more players are now said to be on the verge of leaving.
According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Barcelona want to re-sign Thiago Alcantara.
Liverpool are willing to entertain reasonable offers for the Spaniard, who has less than one year remaining on his current contract.
Thiago signed for Barcelona as a teenager in 2005 and spent eight years with the club before joining Bayern Munich in 2013.
