Transfer news: Barcelona considering shock summer move for Liverpool midfielder.

On Tuesday, Joan Laporta revealed Xavi Hernandez’s demands for this summer’s transfer window.

The head coach of Barcelona wants to bring in three more players after already signing Ilkay Gundogan, Inigo Martinez, and Vitor Roque.

Barcelona needs to add a right-back and two midfielders, according to Xavi. Oriol Romeu is anticipated to sign, and a contract with Girona is most likely to be reached in the next days.

Another midfielder that Barcelona has signed could be a well-known name. Sport claims that they are keeping an eye on Thiago Alcantara’s circumstances at Liverpool.

The 32-year-old could be allowed to leave by the Premier League giants, and he has attracted interest from a number of clubs in the last few weeks.

Thiago is well-known at Barcelona, having spent eight years at the club between 2005 and 2013. However, he was unable to establish himself in the first team, and a move to Bayern Munich dually followed.

Thiago would see a versatile option for Barcelona, as he can play as a pivot as well as an advanced interior. However, given their financial struggles, it is unlikely that they will be able to sign him permanently, but a loan deal could work, providing Liverpool are open to the possibility
