Free by 2021, the Spanish player refused to extend his contract with Bayern. Announced at the start, moved from the hands of FC Barcelona in 2013 in exchange for a check for 25 million euros, Thiago Alcantara (29 years) undoubtedly played his seventh and last season in the jersey of Bayern Munich.
Under contract until June 2021, the midfielder was to extend but ultimately backed down. Therefore, the German champion has no choice but to part with him this summer to avoid losing it for free in a year.
Quickly designated as one of the good deals to seize during this 2020 summer transfer window, the Spanish international (37 caps, 2 goals) saw his name associated with Liverpool. A rumor against which Jürgen Klopp had remained elusive: “Thiago is a very good player, like many other players. I like it a lot, but that’s all I have to say about it.”
But today, according to Bild: the German coach ordered his leaders to launch the offensive to sign Thiago Alcantara. And if an agreement between the player and the Liverpool is announced on track, then it remains to convince Bayern. Because for the 29-year-old player who has only one year left on the contract, Bayern Munich is claiming € 40 million. While Liverpool only wants to put € 25 million on the table … the Bayern Munich player is courted by the Reds. Their coach has just given the green light to take action.
