Thiago Alcantara sent Liverpool transfer warning ahead of potential Bayern Munich switch

Thiago Alcantara would not be guaranteed a starting spot at Liverpool, according to club legend Steve Nicol. Jurgen Klopp has been coy over his side’s transfer plans despite their recent Premier League title triumph and refused to address links to the Bayern Munich midfielder earlier this week. Nicol reckons that although Thiago has the quality to start for his former side, Klopp will not hand him a free pass into the starting XI. "I’d like to see him at Liverpool because that would mean he’d just be strengthening the squad and strengthening the competition for places”, Nicol told ESPN FC. “If they do sign him, I don’t think he walks into the team. I don’t think he is in the starting eleven. “But yes absolutely, the more quality you have and the more competition you have for places. At the very least, it keeps everybody on their toes.” When asked about the Spain international earlier in the week, Klopp staying impartial. He answered: “Would you be surprised if I don’t give an answer on that, just because I never answer these kind of questions. Thiago Alcantara is a really good player. Like a lot of other players out there, I like (him) a lot. But that’s all I have to say about that.” Source: Daily Star
