Thiago Alcantara ‘very likely’ to join Liverpool as Bayern Munich eye £27m transfer fee
THIAGO ALCANTARA is reportedly “very likely” to join Liverpool from Bayern Munich.
The Spanish attacker has been linked with several Premier League clubs this summer as well as Paris Saint-Germain.
French reports claimed PSG had won the transfer race to sign the 29-year-old star.
However, now it seems Jurgen Klopp is set to secure the services of the ex-Barcelona midfielder.
Mundo Deportivo now claims Liverpool are “very likely” to sign the ace.
That is if they agree to meet Bayern’s £27million asking price.
Thiago has one year left on his current deal with the Bundesliga champions.
But he has made it clear he wants to leave for a new challenge.
He snubbed Manchester United back in 2011 but eventually left Barca in 2013 for the German giants.
Since then he has won seven titles and was also named in the FIFAPro World XI in 2017.

Despite that success, he now appears to be heading to Anfield.
Klopp has already made clear he does not have a huge budget this transfer window and has already missed out on Timo Werner to Chelsea.
Although Adam Lallana’s exit has freed up some space on the wage bill.
