Liverpool given transfer boost as Thiago ends contract talks and hopes for Anfield offer

Thiago Alcantara has reportedly stated to Bayern Munich that he wants a move away from the Allianz Arena. Moreover, his preferred destination is Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp faced off against Thiago on numerous occasions during his time as Borussia Dortmund manager. The 29-year-old is ready for a new challenge heading into the summer transfer window. According to Sport Bild, Thiago held productive talks regarding a contract extension at Bayern last month. The midfielder has since taken a step back and wants to evaluate his options this summer. He is reportedly hoping Liverpool make an approach for him in the summer. Bayern value Thiago at £43million, but Thiago has just one year left on his contract heading into this summer. Klopp has made no secret of his admiration for Thiago in the past. “In my time in Germany, I admired Thiago Alcantara, for example," he said. "And what about David Silva? There are others - Pedro is playing well. But yeah, it‘s a coincidence that I have not signed many Spaniards. Dortmund had no money to buy them. Gonzalo Castro was, but only half Spanish. A fantastic player, by the way.” Source: Express
