Bayern Munich chief gives Thiago Alcantara transfer update and makes Liverpool revelation

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has provided an update on Thiago Alcantara’s future.

The 29-year-old continues to be heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, with various reports suggesting Anfield is the player’s likely destination.

Despite these continuous rumours, the ECHO has been told on several occasions that Thiago is currently not a player the Reds are interested in signing.

The Spaniard played a key role in Bayern’s triumph in the Champions League final at the weekend, with manager Hansi Flick admitting he was unsure of where the midfielder’s future lies.

Now Bayern CEO Rummenigge has spoken publicly about the current situation regarding Thiago, and whether Liverpool have made contact with the Bundesliga giants over a potential transfer this summer.

“We always read a lot about Liverpool, but they haven’t contacted us yet,” Rummenigge told Bild.

“Yesterday we had the meeting with our employees and his whole family was there, and they wandered around the square in great nostalgia [at the Allianz Arena], I would say.

“It looked a lot like goodbye, as if he had made up his mind.”
