Thiago has enjoyed a trophy-laden seven-year spell at Bayern having joined Barcelona in 2012.

The Spanish star has won the Bundesliga title in every campaign for the Bavarian outfit, featuring in 230 games in all competitions for the club.

But according to Bild, he could be set to leave at the end of the season with talks stalled over a new contract extension.

They claim that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to sign a central midfielder in the upcoming transfer window, and he has identified Thiago as a possible option.

It has been stated that the German gaffer is an admirer of his technical abilities, and believes he will be a brilliant addition to his team.

The news outlet then reports that Thiago is open to a move to Liverpool and is willing to test himself out in the Premier League.

Due to the interest from the Merseyside club, Thiago is said to be reluctant to put pen to paper on a new Bayern deal.

But one possible reason why he could rebuff Liverpool is the fact that his family is settled in Germany.

Since Hansi Flick took the helm at Bayern, Thiago has become an integral part of his side – chipping in with three goals in 35 games in all competitions this term.
