Saudi Arabian clubs continue to target Liverpool midfielders,Al-Ahli have made a €12m [£10.3m] offer to Liverpool for Thiago Alcantara

Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly still interested in signing Liverpool midfielders, after already signing Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this summer.

Al-Ahli have made a €12 million bid for Thiago Alcantara, who has one year left on his contract at Anfield.

The Spaniard is considering his options, but with Liverpool already having lost five midfielders this summer, losing Thiago would be a major blow to Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp has been critical of the fact that Saudi Arabian clubs have until September 20 to complete their transfers, while European clubs have to close their windows on September 1.

This difference in deadlines could give Saudi clubs an advantage in the transfer market, and Klopp has called on FIFA to act.

It remains to be seen whether Al-Ahli will be successful in their bid for Thiago, but it is clear that Saudi Arabian clubs are not afraid to spend big in order to improve their squads.

This could have a major impact on the transfer market in the coming years, as European clubs face increasing competition from their Middle Eastern rivals.
