Why is Thiago not one of Liverpool's captains?

Thiago Alcántara in his time at Barcelona and Bayern Munich was a brilliant and very outstanding player, mainly in Germany was where he gave his best version winning everything with the barbarian team and being a key player so Liverpool looked at the Spanish midfielder to reinforce the Reds squad in September 2020, although in Germany and will be a player prone to injuries at Anfield is the main factor why he has not been able to shine.

On his arrival at Liverpool he signed a four-year contract which is already in its final stage at Anfield as it does not look like he will be renewing that contract which will end in September next year and this is reason enough for him not to be taken into account by Jürgen Klopp to be one of the captains of the team despite being one of the veterans of the team and with a great experience both at club level and with the Spanish national team, regardless of this the player is doubtful to be a starter for much of the next season.

Although he has not performed badly during his time at Anfield, injuries have reduced his participation and the fact that he is now 32 years old are factors that determine his current situation at Liverpool and he is not considered a reference point and it is difficult for him to wear the captain's badge as he is currently the heir to Jordan Henderson.

<strong>What will happen in the coming days for the Reds midfield?</strong>

It is well known that both Thiago Alcántara and Stefan Bajčetić are coming back from injury so it is unlikely that they will be ready for the start of the season to start the game against Chelsea next Sunday, plus the slow negotiations for Romeo Lavia and André or another midfield player will mean that Klopp will have to improvise with some other player so he will not have a full squad for the start of the Premier League.
