Former Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara and Cameroon defender Joel Matip will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
Callum McGregor says it was a "massive goal" of his to win the league title for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers. The captain admits to lengthy conversations with the Northern Irishman when his move back to Glasgow was in the works, with Rodgers recently saying McGregor was a big factor in his return. “I’m delighted for him," McGregor said.
"Before he even came to Liverpool, I believed that if you really love football it would make a lot of sense if you watched Thiago Alcantara play," said Reds manager Jurgen Klopp. Thiago will leave Anfield when his contract expires this summer, having made 98 appearances. Thiago has shared his thoughts on social media, speaking of his "appreciation and gratitude" as he bids farewell.
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy played a crucial role in securing the Foxes' promotion back to the Premier League this season, making 35 Championship appearances and racking up 20 goal involvements along the way. The 37-year-old is approaching 12 years of service at the club, after signing from Fleetwood Town in July 2012, but his current contract is set to expire in June. Former Foxes striker Matty Fryatt has been analysing Vardy's latest campaign in a Leicester City shirt, with reports suggesting the talisman is close to signing a one-year contract extension at the club.
