We may not be in the transfer window right now, but that hasn’t stopped bizarre rumours emerging around the internet.
This week, it’s El Gol Digital who have conjured up a strange piece of speculation surrounding the future of Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
They claim that Thiago could end up re-joining Barcelona this summer as a result of Joan Laporta winning the Barcelona presidential race.
Thiago, alongside another former La Masia product in Adama Traore, is seen as an ideal start to the new regime at the Camp Nou.
Barca may well regret letting Thiago leave for Bayern Munich in 2013, but surely there is no way Liverpool let him go after less than a year at Anfield.
Maybe his first season at Liverpool hasn’t exactly gone to plan, but it’s unlikely that the Reds would cut ties with him so soon into his career on Merseyside.
At 29, Thiago isn’t really what Barcelona need anyway having spent too much money on players around their 30’s, but that hasn’t stopped fans from dreaming of a rather unlikely deal.
