Thiago Alcantara has been surprisingly linked with a Barcelona return. As per reports, Xavi likes the midfielder, and Liverpool would be open to parting ways with him. Thiago, too, would be in favour of the move.
However, the fans on Twitter are not as sure how much sense such a transfer would make. Many seem to be against the transfer.
kshitijshah23: "I really hope the Thiago rumours are false..."
TacticoModerno: "I love Thiago, and I would've taken him back at the beginning of last season, but I don't think we need him anymore. Pedri, Gavi, Nico, Frenkie, Puig, Busquets and we're yet to see what Xavi plans to do with Pjanic. Plus, I doubt Liverpool would let him go for cheap or even at all."
LaComputadora14: "Thiago is the perfect Barca midfielder to sign in terms of quality, fitting our style, leadership and mentorship for the youngsters on the pitch. But we are too stacked in midfield, and with the rumours of Roberto renewing and moving to midfield as well... It's a no."
Still, there are those who want Thiago back at Camp Nou.
FCB_Lad: "Xavi and Iniesta spoiled the cules. How can you not want Thiago back, lol? Some of them expect Gavi, Nico etc. to give us instant success. Nah, they need more time to unleash their full potential. I would take Thiago back in a heartbeat."
morinaaaa10: "Contrary to many mutuals on my timeline, I would love to have Thiago back. The reasons are simple: quality player, would give us many options like double pivot, experienced, Barca DNA, creative."
AshcanFussball: "Barca fans who said buying Alves or Thiago is a mistake clearly don't understand a building team. You can't build a team with ONLY youngsters. It takes experience to make it too. Because youngsters, no matter how talented they are, don't have the mental."
This term so far, Thiago has played 247 minutes across seven games for Liverpool starting in just two of them. The 30-year-old also recorded an assist.
