Ex-Liverpool player opens up on Thiago Alcantara's possible move to Anfield

Former Liverpool player Dietmar Hamann has opened up on Thiago Alcantara's possible move to Anfield. Bayern Munich midfielder has been heavily linked with the newly-crowned champions. According to Sport Bild, the player's house in Germany is already for sale, while he is ready to leave the club. And Hamann believes a move to Liverpool is the "most likely option" for Thiago. Speaking to Abendzeitung Muenchen, he said: “At 29, he doesn’t quite fit the profile of the Reds’ purchasing policy. Nevertheless, a transfer would make sense in my eyes, because Jürgen Klopp has more workhorses in his midfield with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Naby Keita and could use a technician like Thiago well,” said Hamann. “On the other hand, he had a Bayern contract ready for signature. I would be surprised if he didn’t have a lot of offers. Otherwise you won’t reject it. If he really wants to leave, the club should not make too much effort to keep him. The Bayern bosses do not submit such an offer twice. That would be a very good deal in Corona times, Liverpool certainly wants to keep the price down. Thiago is 29 and when everyone is fit in the Bayern midfield around Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Thomas Müller, he sits on the bench. Thiago certainly has brilliant moments, I like to watch him. But the hard facts are: Bayern was never in a Champions League final with him. The bottom line is still the most likely option for me to go to Liverpool.”
