“Would you be surprised if I give an answer about that? I never answered a question like this,” he said as quoted by Goal International.
“Thiago Alcantara is a very good player. Like most players out there, I like him very much. That’s all I can say,” he continued.
Munchen’s CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, admitted that he smelled signs that the player is looking for a new challenge. But he insisted that Liverpool has not made an approach.
Hansi Flick as Bayern Munich coach himself wants Thiago to continue to strengthen his team next season. And he is trying his hardest to convince Thiago to stay.
Thiago has missed many matches since the domestic competition in Germany was restarted due to injury. However, he had recorded his appearance as a substitute when Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal final.
