Galatasaray’s vice president, Erden Timur, has reportedly engaged in discussions with Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara in England. Timur has made a “very good offer” to the Spanish international, and the midfielder has shown interest and welcomed the proposal from Galatasaray.
According to SportWitness, the vice-president of Galatasaray has not only engaged in talks with Alcantara but has also discussed with Liverpool the conditions required to sign the former Barcelona player during this transfer window.
However, the response from Liverpool is not completely appropriate. It is worth noting that Thiago resumed pre-season training with the Reds on Saturday.
Since joining Liverpool in 2020, the veteran star has faced numerous injury setbacks, limiting him to just 18 league appearances last season.
Galatasaray, aiming to strengthen their midfield, is seeking to sign Thiago, whose contract with Liverpool runs until 2024. Galatasaray’s vice president, Timur, has reportedly made multiple trips to England in recent weeks, conducting various transfer operations.

Thiago has rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia, indicating his desire to remain at Anfield. However, Liverpool would likely accept a reasonable bid if it were to come in, as it would free up significant wages and allow the club to pursue other transfer targets, such as Lavia.
While Thiago could continue his career in one of the top five European leagues, Galatasaray have emerged as an appealing option if other opportunities do not arise.
