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 come about 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
