THIAGO ALCANTARA has snubbed Bayern Munich’s offer of a new contract and already said goodbye to team-mates as he eyes a move to England.
The 29-year-old Spanish midfielder still has 12 months remaining on his deal with the Bundesliga giants.

But now it appears they will be forced to cash in on the ex-Barcelona star in the upcoming transfer window rather than lose him for nothing in June 2021.
They are believed to be looking for a fee of between £54m to £72m for him, says Kicker.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has claimed the ace wants to play in the Premier League and “has not replied” to renewal offers from Bayern.
And Bayern would use that sum to launch a move for much-wanted Bayer Leverkusen man Kai Havertz.
Bild are reporting Thiago has bade farewell to a number of his dressing-room colleagues as he prepares to depart.
Thiago has enjoyed a trophy-laden seven-year spell at Bayern having joined from 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.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who could seal the Prem title if Manchester City fail to win at Chelsea tonight, is keen to sign a central midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.
And he has identified Thiago as a possible option.
The German Anfield gaffer is an admirer of his technical abilities and believes he will be a brilliant addition to his team.
Thiago has chipped in with three goals in 35 games in all competitions this term.
