Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, is set to leave the club at the end of the season due to feeling ‘running out of energy’ after nearly nine years. Meanwhile, midfielder Thiago Alcantara might also depart as his contract expires in the summer, with reported lack of contact for a new deal.
The midfielder has not played a single minute yet this campaign with his last appearance in a Liverpool jersey coming near the end of last season, before he injured his hip.
With four new midfielders joining the club last summer, it may be the right time to move on for the Spaniard.
