Fabrizio Romano Suggests New Talks Are Imminent As Liverpool Step Up Attempts To Sign Bundesliga Star

The Guardian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that “talks are going to restart soon” between Liverpool and Bayern Munich about signing Thiago Alcantara.

The Reds are adamant that they won’t pay €30m (£27m) for the 29-year-old but it does seem as though that more discussions will take place in order to see whether a compromise can be agreed:

Thiago’s age and profile would not typically make him a target for Liverpool but his talent and his apparent interest in moving to Anfield may lead to the Premier League champions making an exception in this case.

With the Spanish international’s current deal expiring next summer, the Reds could wait until January so he can sign a pre-contract agreement, but that would risk other teams, like Arsenal, getting involved in the battle to sign the player.

Bayern are not under pressure financially to sell Thiago but they would probably prefer to offload him now rather than lose him for nothing next year.
