# Liverpool: Fans shoot down Thiago exit rumour

**A number of Liverpool supporters have laughed off a transfer rumour which claimed that midfielder Thiago Alcantara could return to his former club Barcelona.**

The 30-year-old joined the Reds from Bayern Munich in September 2020, fresh off the back of winning the Champions League with the Bavarian giants.

Thiago’s Liverpool career has been a frustrating one to date, with [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago/verletzungen/spieler/60444) often halting his progress just as he is finding a good run of form.

The Spaniard is now fit again ahead of the Reds’ return to action at home to Arsenal next weekend, but a transfer story has emerged regarding him. According to journalist [Pedro Almeida](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1458426315560964110) \[via [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1459471099650002946?s=20) on Twitter\], new Barcelona manager Xavi is keen on taking his former teammate back to the Nou Camp.

The Liverpool midfielder [made 100 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/60444/verein/131) for the Catalan giants before leaving in 2013, scoring 11 goals and registering 20 assists.
