Thiago Alcantara has reportedly returned to Liverpool after leaving his role in Barcelona.

At the end of the 23/24 season, Spaniard Thiago left the club upon the expiration of his contract.

Despite a promising start to life at Anfield, Thiago’s Liverpool career was largely hampered by multiple injury issues.

Shortly after leaving Merseyside, it was confirmed that the midfielder had retired from professional football.

He wrote on Instagram: “I will always be willing to give back what I have been given and I am grateful for the time I have enjoyed it.

“Thank you, football. And to all who accompanied me and made me a better player and person along the way. See you soon.”

Thiago then joined Hansi Flick’s backroom staff at Barcelona but then left his role after just one month.

As reported by Spanish news outlet Marca, Thiago has returned to Liverpool as he’s required to reside in the UK for the remainder of this year due to tax issues relating to the termination of his contract with the Reds.

After leaving Liverpool, Thiago penned an emotional letter to the fans.

It read: “Appreciation and gratitude – they are two words that come to mind on the day I have to say goodbye to all of you, Reds. Thankful, too.

“Thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of this city, this club and this community. The continuous support I have received since day one has been incredible: Anfield cheering, the Kop chanting… amazing, overwhelming.

“A very unique fan base for a unique club. These past four years have been a time of learning for me and my family. Some wins, some defeats, but without a doubt, a life-changing experience.”

The letter continued: “Teammates, coaches, staff and club employees: you were all part of it. And to the fans, I don’t have the words. Just know you will have my deepest gratitude forever. Thank you, it was an honour.
