The incredible devaluation of Thiago, already worth less than Klopp's kids

After a spell at Bayern Munich, Thiago Alcantara is set to take up the challenge of Liverpool in the Premier League. However, the FC Barcelona youth product is suffering from a nightmare of injuries. Hence, his contribution is rather scarce in the wide area of the Reds.

What's more, his manager Jürgen Klopp has referred to his physical condition. "I don't know, he has to do a couple of things from a medical point of view... I don't know if that will mean he will be able to play again this season. I can't say more about that," said the German about the player in a statement reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Thiago Alcántara may already have played his last game in a Liverpool shirt. The Spanish midfielder returned to the pitch at the beginning of February after nine months on the sidelines. Although the Reds lost at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal (3-1), the last five minutes of the match played by the 32-year-old against the Gunners seemed to be the end of a long journey through the desert. But nothing could be further from the truth. A few days later, Liverpool announced a new injury to Thiago Alcántara. The same that could leave him out of action for the remainder of the season, until the Spaniard's contract expires next June.

Thiago's decline

After shining at Bayern Munich, Liverpool paid 22 million for Thiago in 2020 and although he was key in several games, he never had the regularity that was expected due to injuries. After playing only one game in several months, his price has been devalued significantly and now according to several reports his value is barely 10 million, worth even less than youth players like Harvey Elliott or Curtis Jones.
