Liverpool superstar wants to stay after rejecting lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has reportedly rejected a lucrative contract offer from Saudi Arabia.

The Athletic reports that Thiago is garnering serious interest from the Saudi Pro League but currently intends to stay put at Anfield. The Spaniard has a year left on his contract with the Reds.

Thiago did struggle for game time last season amid injury issues. He featured 28 times across competitions, providing one assist. The former Barcelona midfielder features highly in the list of European stars that Saudi giants are targeting.

Despite this, Jurgen Klopp is planning for next season with the 32-year-old as part of his plans. The Spanish midfielder is focused on returning to pre-season with the Merseysiders this weekend.

Liverpool are reportedly happy for Thiago to see out the remaining year of his contract. They are yet to receive a bid for his services and he looks set to battle it out for a starting berth in Klopp's side.

The Reds have already captured Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. Southampton's Romeo Lavia is now on the Anfield giants' radar.

Thiago joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich three years ago for £27 million. He has made 97 appearances, winning the FA Cup and the League Cup.
