Thiago Alcantara has retired from football after leaving Liverpool at the end of his contract.

The former Spain midfielder, 33, was restricted to just one appearance during the 2023-24 season because of injury.

"I will always be willing to give back what I have been given and I am grateful for the time, I have enjoyed it," he posted on social media.

"Thank you, football. And to all who accompanied me and made me a better player and person along the way."

Thiago had hip surgery towards the end of 2022-23 but was unable to return until February 2024, when he came on as a late substitute in a defeat at Arsenal and suffered another injury.
