Rummenigge remains tough: "There will be no summer sale at FC Bayern"

Thiago is said to have agreed on a four-year contract with Liverpool FC for a long time , but there is still a huge problem with the transfer (see below). Board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has since given up hope of the 29-year-old's whereabouts and told BILD : “We have always read a lot about Liverpool, but they have not yet contacted us. We still had the appointment with our employees and the whole family was there and they wandered around the square in great nostalgia, I would almost say. It looked a lot like goodbye, as if he had made up his mind. "

Bayern are demanding at least 30 million euros for their midfield strategist, Liverpool wants to press the transfer fee. “There are a lot of interesting players, but if someone is interesting for us, I can't tell right now. Because of Covid-19 you have to think five times about what you can and cannot do, "said LFC coach Jürgen Klopp on " Servus TV " . Rummenigge makes it clear, however, that there will be no Corona discount: "Now it's because the club he has chosen is approaching FC Bayern because he still has one year of contract. There will be no summer sale at FC Bayern, especially not after this tournament. The players have not become cheaper after winning the European Cup. "

Update from August 24th: Thiago's departure from Munich is as good as sealed. After the Champions League final, coach Hansi Flick hugged the Spaniard deeply, which caused a curious response from the Bayern coach at the press conference (update from 23 August). But Flick couldn't say more about the future of Thiagos either, because the Spaniard's goal has apparently not yet been defined.

Thiago farewell to the Premier League? Liverpool get competition from London

It should go to England. But Liverpool FC, which has shown great interest in the midfielder, is now getting well-known competition from the Premier League. *

Although the landed Arsenal FC last season only to eighth place, while Liverpool after a sensational season was English champion. But the Gunners won the FA Cup in the final against local rivals Chelsea FC and will at least compete in the Europa League * in the coming season .

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Arsenal are said to be one of the clubs that are said to have reviewed a commitment by the Spaniard. But again, the price for the midfield strategist, who is at the height of his career at 29, is the crux of the matter. The 30 million required - before the Corona crisis *, this would have been a bargain - was probably too much for Liverpool FC , and the price set for Arsenal is probably a bit too high .

Bayern are facing an important decision, because the financially strong buyers who offer Thiago a sporting perspective in a top league are quite manageable due to the corona pandemic . So you would have to forego part of the required transfer fee in order to get anything for the Spaniard, as his contract will expire in summer 2021 . The signs of a move to the Premier League are increasing daily.

FC Bayern: Hansi Flick reacts brilliantly to journalists' question about Thiago change - "... told me that he will stay"

Update from August 23: After winning the Champions League final, the new season begins at Bayern . Loan players and those whose contracts were dated until summer 2020 will leave the club shortly. With Thiago prospers an absolute star of Munich, although his contract is valid until the 2,021th His coach Hansi Flick was asked about Thiagos future after the final - and gave a surprising answer .

Will Thiago stay with FC Bayern? Flick answers a journalist's question surprisingly

Despite the emotional Champions League final victory, Hansi Flick was as businesslike as usual in the press conference that took place after the final. The 55-year-old was asked about the Spaniard's future towards the end of the press session , as the coach and midfield strategist held each other for a long time after the final whistle.

When asked whether it was the last game for Bayern *. he replied dryly: “No, he told me he was going to stay”, whereupon Flick put on a poker face for a few seconds and then laughingly explained that he had had a joke with the journalist. "It was a beautiful face," he said to the amused press representatives.

Then Flick gave a serious answer and said: “I thanked him for the time. I don't know, he does n't know himself yet because we all focused one hundred percent on this final. We have to wait and see what happens in the next few days. "

A video that suddenly shows the Bayern stars in the finals with a particularly youthful appearance also caused a laugh.

FC Bayern: If Thiago stays in Munich - move to Liverpool could fail

First report from August 21: Lisbon / Munich - Since the day on which Thiago rejected Bavaria's offer to extend his contract, which is valid until 2021, there has been speculation about the next station of the noble technician. The Premier League champions * FC Liverpool seem to be the favorite for a move , but according to a report from Transfermarkt.de , a move to Jürgen Klopp could fail this summer .

Thiago staying at Bayern? Liverpool does not want or can not meet the FCB requirement

It has already been reported that Liverpool FC and the Spanish international should agree . But the deal could burst in view of the transfer fee , because the FCB management team still insists on a transfer from England of 30 million euros for the services of the 29-year-old. The number one problem : Liverpool are unable or unwilling to respond to Munich's demands.

As the Guardian reports, a transfer should take place in the summer of 2021 if necessary , but by then Thiago's contract would no longer be valid and Bayern would have to forego the handsome transfer fee in times of the Corona crisis. This approach would by no means be in the interests of those responsible at Säbener Straße *, especially since investments such as the transfer of Leroy Sané * were made despite the crisis .

Bayern: Thiago transfer depends on the possible change of a Liverpool midfielder

The problem number two : Liverpool would even open until 2021 on Thiago position, since the Treaty of Reds midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum also runs until next summer. Thiago could theoretically replace the 29-year-old Dutchman if you could plan so far in the football business.

Wijnaldum is said to be facing a move to FC Barcelona , where his compatriot Ronald Koeman took over as coach on Wednesday. The 57-year-old former Barca player seems to want to put in his old home to new Dutch and advised Wijnaldum from a contract extension at Liverpool from .

FC Bayern: Thiago in Munich until 2021?

So there is a huge rat tail on the Thiago deal. Should Barcelona buy Wijnaldum for a corresponding sum from his contract , the path would be free for the Thiago transfer and Bayern would cash in. In the worst case, Thiago would be tied to Munich for another season , which would definitely not hurt Bayern from a sporting perspective. However, it is expected that the English champions will report to Munich after the Champions League final.

There have been no further discussions with Thiago since Liverpool FC first contacted him. At #fcbayern, those responsible expect that there will be another advance by the English after the final against Paris. @SPORTBILD @BILD_Sport

The FC Bayern professionals thanked their fans in an open letter. Bayern's victory was also celebrated in the international press. After the FCB victory against PSG, violent riots broke out in Paris. Many will remember the crying Neymar after the game. But he also made an embarrassing mistake after the final whistle.
