Thiago to Liverpool has gone relatively quiet over the past week. After initial big claims from Germany about a potential move to Anfield, there hasn’t been a lot added since.
Bayern Munich have accepted publicly that the former Barcelona player has a desire to leave the club, and they’re ready to sell him given his contract has less than a year left to run.
First, they need a buyer, and the asking price has been put at €20m. There have been claims Liverpool don’t want to go so high, and that would fit in a little with what Kicker are reporting today.
The German magazine states Thiago ‘would like to’ sign for Liverpool, which is natural given how attractive a prospect Jurgen Klopp’s side is right now. However, the Premier League champions aren’t moving forward for a deal right now.
Liverpool have registered their interest with the player, but must first ‘decide on the course of a Corona savings programme’. This could include exits, with Naby Keita put forward as a possibility by Kicker.
Thiago may be keen to sign for Liverpool, yet it would appear they’re holding back for now.
