Barcelona considering shock summer move for Liverpool midfielder| SolSportHQ

On Tuesday, Joan Laporta revealed Xavi Hernandez’s demands for this summer’s transfer window. Having already signed Ilkay Gundogan, Inigo Martinez and Vitor Roque, the Barcelona head coach wants another three players through the door.

Xavi is keen for Barcelona to sign two midfielders, as well as a right-back. Oriol Romeu is expected to be one of those that signs, with a deal likely to be agreed with Girona within the next few days.

Barcelona’s other midfield signing could be a familiar face. According to Sport, they are currently monitoring Thiago Alcantara’s situation at Liverpool. The 32-year-old, who came through the ranks at the Blaugrana, could be allowed to leave by the Premier League giants.

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.
