Jamie Carragher has branded reports linking Liverpool with a swoop to sign Thiago Alcantara as “disrespectful” to Jurgen Klopp’s current midfielders. The Reds have been heavily linked with a swoop to sign the Bayern Munich midfielder. Thiago is thought to be eager to leave the club and informed Bayern Munich that he wouldn’t be signing a new contract. The Champions League winner has been linked with a move to Liverpool. Speaking during Liverpool FC’s 4-3 win against Leeds United at Anfield on Sunday, Carragher gave his verdict on the reports. “Liverpool have got three or four players in the squad they are looking to move on,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “It seems like they have to sell before they buy, that was the case with Dejan Lovren. He had to leave before a left-back could come in. “Thiago would give Liverpool’s midfield something different, no doubt. I think the huge clamour for Thiago is a little bit disrespectful to Liverpool’s current midfield three. Yes, he would add something different. But if he doesn’t come in, it’s not the end of the world, this is still a fantastic midfield for Liverpool.” Liverpool eased to a thrilling 4-3 win against promoted side Leeds United.
