News'You have my deepest gratitude' - Thiago Alcantara's message to fans
Thiago Alcantara has shared a special message to the club and supporters following the news that he will depart Liverpool FC at the end of 2023-24.
The midfielder’s spell with the Reds will conclude after four seasons and 98 appearances in which he exhibited what Jürgen Klopp described as his ‘special qualities’.
Thiago also scored six times – including a breathtaking finish against FC Porto that was named the best goal of the 2021-22 Champions League – and claimed winner’s medals in the Emirates FA Cup and FA Community Shield.
“Appreciation and gratitude – they are two words that come to mind on the day I have to say goodbye to all of you, Reds,” he posted on social media.
“Thankful, too.
“Thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of this city, this club and this community. The continuous support I have received since day one has been incredible: Anfield cheering, the Kop chanting… amazing, overwhelming.
“A very unique fan base for a unique club.
“These past four years have been a time of learning for me and my family. Some wins, some defeats, but without a doubt, a life-changing experience.
“Teammates, coaches, staff and club employees: you were all part of it.
“And to the fans, I don’t have the words. Just know you will have my deepest gratitude forever. Thank you, it was an honour.
“All the best always, Liverpool FC.”
