Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has reportedly courted serious interest from Turkish clubs Galatasaray S.K. and Trabzonspor.
The Spain international midfielder has not played for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds since April’s win against West Ham United with Thiago undergoing surgery on a long-term hip injury, which has meant a spell out on the sidelines.

According to a report from The Liverpool Echo, it is claimed that Thiago’s agent Alejandro Boesch has refuted claims that his client could be on the way to Turkey with Boesch insisting that Thiago will stay put at Anfield.
“My partner Jordi went to Istanbul for a holiday. Thiago will not play in Turkey.”
Thiago has entered the final year of his contract at Liverpool and there had been speculation this summer that Klopp could be willing to part ways with the midfield maestro as the Saudi Pro League clubs came calling for the player’s signature.
Jordan Henderson and Fabinho – two of Klopp’s long serving mainstays in the Liverpool midfield roster – called it quits at Anfield to make the move to Saudi Arabia as Klopp went about revamping his engine room with four new recruits.
