Replying to a comment in his piece for the Athletic, journalist David Ornstein has given Liverpool fans another update on our alleged pursuit of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara – claiming that the ‘mutual admiration‘ is evident but that doesn’t mean Jurgen Klopp’s side are any closer to a move.
Thiago, who has started 20 league games for the Bundesliga giants this season, amassing an impressive 90.5% pass accuracy from midfield in that time, is currently at the centre of reports linking him with a Premier League move.
Could Liverpool sign Thiago this summer?
Yes, we need to make a move
No, not with FSG
Indeed, the Spaniard has also been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool as Klopp searches for another creative outlet in the middle of the park – with journalist Ornstein claiming that one major factor could influence a potential deal.
Whether or not we sign Thiago, according to the Athletic, could depend solely on the finances surrounding his coup – with many Reds supporters erupting in response to this information on social media.
Branding the update ‘ridiculous‘ and a potential ‘Werner 2.0‘, they certainly haven’t held back given the uncertainty surrounding his reported transfer – find all of their verdicts down below.
