‘We Can Offer €3. Take It Or Leave It’ ‘I Beg It’s Already Done’ Liverpool Fans Weigh In On Romano’s Latest Update

Liverpool have made official contact with Bayern Munich for the first time about signing Thiago Alcantara, according to the Guardian‘s Fabrizio Romano.

The usually reliable reporter claims that Bayern are demanding €30m (£27m) for the Spanish international and it will be up to Liverpool whether they want to pay it or not:

Despite the Italian journalist’s excellent recent track record, it’s probably best to take this story with a large pinch of salt. As some other reporters have pointed out, the Reds are highly unlikely to spend £27m on a player who will be available on a free transfer next summer, especially when he is 29 years of age, and they already have a number of other options in midfield.
