Bayern Munich's Thiago would be a "serious addition" if Liverpool were able to secure his services, claims Glen Johnson.
The Spanish midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield this summer.
His contract at the Allianz Arena is winding down and SPORT claim a deal between the player and the Reds has already been struck.
Jurgen Klopp has a host of players to pick from in midfield, but Johnson sees it as an area where the newly crowned Premier League champions can improve.
The German watched on as Liverpool were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City, but the former Red doesn't expect any knee jerk reactions from the defeat.
"City defeat doesn’t change anything for Klopp," he told BETDAQ TIPS.
"I don’t think Thursday’s loss will change anything for Jurgen Klopp in terms of his transfer plans.
"He and the Liverpool board have shown how competent they are in the market in recent years and one loss isn’t going to make them totally change the plans they had in place.
"They’ve been linked with Bayern Munich’s Thiago and of course he’d be a serious addition to that side. He’s been top-class for a number of years in both Spain and Germany and he’d be a very good signing if he did move to Anfield.
"If there was one area Liverpool could perhaps strengthen it would be in midfield and Thiago is definitely the sort of player who would do that."
The 29-year-old has won the Bundesliga in every single year he's been at Bayern.
He joined the German side in 2013 but could be set for pastures new despite making 35 appearances this term.
