THIAGO Alcantara appears set for a move to Liverpool from Bayern Munich in a £25million deal, but that might not please his missus, Julia Vigas.
In the past, the midfielder was constantly linked with a move back to the Nou Camp – and Spanish media believed Julia was the driving force.

The stunning blonde is said to miss her old life in Catalonia, having swapped Spain for Germany when Thiago joined Pep Guardiola in Bavaria in 2013.
After nearly seven years in Munich, it may be time for a return for the Spain international, who has won six titles in a row since making the move.
BARCELONA-BORN
Born and raised in Barcelona, Julia’s family still live in the city.
She is also part-owner, with her brothers and father, of a hotel on the Costa Brava.

The hotel has great reviews on certain websites, with guests regularly giving it four stars out of five.
One reviewer called it a “lovely hotel”, another said it had “wonderful staff” and a third said their stay was “fantastic”.
Her father is said to be a leading Catalan businessman, although it’s not known what business he is involved in.

A UNI GRADUATE
Julia graduated from the University of Barcelona in 2013, where she studied marketing and communications.
That summer, her and Thiago were on their way to Munich to join Guardiola’s revolution at Bayern.
In a now defunct blog, Julia revealed: “I am a lover of fashion and travel, shoes and bags are my addiction.”
The couple married in 2015 and have a son, Gabriel.
Julia and Thiago had appeared mostly happy with life in Munich, where they have been regulars at Oktoberfest.
But they make consistent trips back to Spain with Thiago best friends with La Masia graduates Sergio Busquets, Marc Bartra and Jordi Alba.
Thiago’s younger brother Rafinha is also on Barcelona’s books, but could be set for a move to the Premier League with Leeds and Arsenal said to be interested.
