Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and Thiago had all but agreed on a new contract on May 4. The Spaniard was supposed to sign a new long-term deal in Munich, the reward for many good games under head coach Hansi Flick. But the 29-year-old has asked for more time and since then the contract talks have been put on hold.

According to the German publication Sport Bild, it is now more likely that the 29-year-old will leave the club rather than sign a new contract. Thiago has come to the realization that right now might be his only opportunity to move to another European top side. Among the players, it is rumored that Thiago, who has a market value of €48 million, has an offer to play under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool


The German manager is a big fan of the midfielder. Furthermore, Thiago could fill the gaping hole in midfield that Naby Keïta, signed from RB Leipzig in 2018, has thus far failed to fill. For Bayern Munich selling Thiago might also play in the club's hands. The Rekordmeister could use the money to sign Leroy Sané for whom Bayern want to pay no more than €40 million to Manchester City this summer.



Whether the future Premier League champions could afford a deal is another question. The Reds were interested in Timo Werner but the club's financial situation amidst the pandemic meant that a deal was not possible.
