‘I Just Don’t Get It’ ‘Why You Do This? Fans Respond To David Ornstein’s Update On Liverpool’s Move For £31.7m Rated Midfielder

Liverpool and Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara both have a mutual appreciation for each other, but a deal could be scuppered by finances, according to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein.

Reports in Spain suggest that the Reds may struggle to pay Bayern’s €35m (£31.7m) asking price and those claims have now been reinforced by a prominent British journalist.

Supporters on Twitter are understandably not impressed with Liverpool and owners FSG, in particular:

Manager Jurgen Klopp was actually asked about Thiago after the Reds’ 2-0 win over Aston Villa yesterday, and he expressed admiration for the player, without confirming or denying the club’s interest:

“Would you be surprised if I didn’t answer? He’s a good player I like a lot but like many others out there.”

It does seem as though there is genuine interest from Liverpool in the 29-year-old, with very few journalists in the UK completing refuting the stories surrounding the player.

Whether that will, in fact, lead to a concrete bid from the Merseyside club in the coming weeks, we shall have to wait and see.
