PSG are reportedly attempting to steal the transfer of Thiago Alcantara from under Liverpool’s noses
And after snubbing a contract extension, the 29-year-old was given just a £27million price tag.
Premier League champions Liverpool appeared frontrunners to sign the ex-Barcelona playmaker.
But according to Le 10 Sport, PSG are prepared to match an offer to sign Thiago.
They are looking to bolster their midfield for next season and have also been linked with Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, AC Milan’s Ismael Bennacer and Chelsea flop Tiemoue Bakayoko.
But Thiago emerges as another alternative for the Ligue 1 winners, following another stellar season in Germany with 36 appearances.
His contract expires next summer meaning Bayern will have to act fast to demand a higher transfer fee.
They have already secured the £55m signing of Leroy Sane from Manchester City.
And Liverpool target Thiago provides the perfect opportunity for Bayern to recoup funds.
But Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp would not be drawn into confirming his interest in the midfielder, or anyone else.
Klopp told Sky Germany last week: “I have no idea who will play for me next year, there is nothing to say at the moment.
“Thiago Alcantara is a great player, but also a Bayern Munich player.
“That’s actually all there is to say. There’s nothing to say.”
