Former Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara is poised to announce his retirement from professional football, bringing an end to a illustrious career marked by numerous accolades.
The Spanish veteran has struggled with injuries for over a year, limiting his playing time to a brief substitute appearance in a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal in February.
Despite undergoing surgery in May 2023, Thiago was unable to regain his fitness and spent the entirety of the 2023/2024 season on the sidelines.
According to renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Thiago’s decision to retire will culminate a storied career that saw him win over 20 major honors with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Liverpool, including the FA Cup and League Cup with the Reds in 2022.
