After the culmination of good football in Qatar, where Argentina ended their 36-year wait for a third World Cup, the world's leagues are getting back to business, starting in the Premier League where Liverpool are reportedly starting to restructure their squad. For Klopp, the departure of several stars would give him the financial breathing space he needs to make signings in January.

The Reds have had an atypical start to the season, which for their history and prestige, the current sixth position in the table, keeps them away from the places that grant European competitions for next season. It is for this reason that the German coach has taken the decision to let go of some players who, according to the fans, have finished their time at Anfield.

Such is the case of Spain's Thiago Alcántara do Nascimento, who has struggled in the last year with injuries, which have taken him away from his enormous potential, the one that made him an undisputed starter for Spain, and now former coach Luis Enrique has not taken him into account to go to Qatar. The three-time UEFA Champions League winner hopes that 2023 will finally be his year.

Thiago's quality is undisputed, and even a study by a major Spanish and European media outlet revealed that Alcántara is a great deep-lying playmaker whose skills excel in ball control and ball handling in midfield. These qualities surpass the likes of Lionel Messi, current world champion with Argentina and PSG star.

Thiago is full of Quality

This study reveals that the 31-year-old is one of the top assisting players currently active in Europe's top leagues, such as the English Premier League. At the special request of Jürgen Klopp, Thiago arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2020, after a long spell in Germany where he was a multi-time champion with Bayern Munich, the club that bought him from Barça in 2013.
