Live Cricket BPL reports that Liverpool’s summer transfer strategy is laser-focused on strengthening their midfield. As the saying goes, without weathering storms, one never grows. To revamp this vital area, the Reds splashed the cash on Dominik Szoboszlai from the Bundesliga and Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. These two signings mark a near-complete midfield rebuild. Even if more adjustments are made later, they’re expected to be minimal. With these upgrades, Liverpool is set to be a more formidable contender next season.

Adding to the optimism, Thiago Alcântara has opted to stay with Liverpool. He has already returned to the club’s training ground and is actively preparing for the new season, quashing rumors of a potential departure. Since arriving from Bayern Munich, Thiago was once seen as the heartbeat of Liverpool’s midfield. In several matches, he showcased masterful control that helped steer the team to victory. However, injuries have frequently disrupted his availability, limiting the consistency of his impact.

Thiago’s current contract with Liverpool expires in one year, and based on recent performance and fitness, a contract extension appears unlikely. Likewise, Thiago himself may forgo talks with Liverpool in favor of exploring opportunities abroad—particularly those offering more lucrative deals. You can always pivot in life, but you can’t move forward by looking back. The Saudi Pro League has aggressively pursued top European talent this summer, and Thiago was certainly on their radar. After Steven Gerrard accepted a managerial role in Saudi Arabia, he reportedly made Thiago his top transfer priority.

Live Cricket BPL confirms that the salary package offered from Saudi Arabia far exceeds anything Liverpool could match. Gerrard’s admiration for Thiago also gave him significant leverage in negotiations. Yet, despite attractive offers and interest from multiple clubs, Thiago turned them all down. He remains committed to proving himself at Liverpool and will only consider a Saudi move after he becomes a free agent next year. It’s clear that Thiago still has lofty goals for his career and is not ready to close the chapter on European football just yet.

From the current squad structure, Liverpool’s first team is taking shape following the midfield overhaul. But Live Cricket BPL notes that Thiago will face fierce competition for a starting spot. To stay in contention, he must maintain peak fitness and form. Those who succeed influence others; those who fail are influenced by them. While Liverpool may not be the top favorite in the Premier League title race, their revamped squad certainly possesses the depth and quality to be in the mix.
