Former Liverpool defender explains how Thiago Alcantara could join for free

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol believes Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara will join Liverpool. The 29-year-old has long been linked with a move to Anfield. But according to Liverpool ECHO, the Reds are not actively seeking the Spaniard. Nicole says, a "compromise" could be reached to sign Thiago this summer or Bayern risk losing him on a free transfer. The Spaniard has only one year remaining on his deal. He told ESPN : “Well it’s really in the hands of the Bayern board, if Liverpool don’t come up with a compromise, and I think it was £30million Bayern wanted. If they come up with a compromise that suits Bayern, then it’ll happen. But if it doesn’t happen in this window, it’s going to happen next summer when his contract runs out. “That way both Thiago is happy and Bayern get a decent amount of money as well. It’s hanging in the balance. It’s really down to the board, they’ve got to agree on a price. Liverpool have shown they won’t be pushed around by anybody, and if the price isn’t right they won’t take him right now.” Source: Liverpool ECHO
