Liverpool have officially made an approach to Bayern Munich for Thiago Alcantara, according to Bild.
It has been reported by the German publication that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that Thiago is the perfect man for his midfield, as he is strong in duels and can also drive the team forward.
The report has claimed that the Reds have made contact with Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, and that the Premier League champions have an agreement in place with the Spain international central midfielder.
Good signing for Liverpool?
Thiago is one of the best central midfielders in the world, and there is no doubt that the 29-year-old would make Liverpool a better team in the middle of the park.
True, Liverpool won the Premier League title this past season, but there is also room for better players and the need to strengthen the squad to fend off the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United in 2020-21.
Thiago has a winning mentality, having won multiple titles at Bayern and Barcelona, and he would fit in nicely at the Reds with his guile and work ethic.
