Liverpool will only make a move for Thiago Alcantara if they lose one of their big names players, according to ESPN.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with the Bayern Munich midfielder in recent weeks, but ESPN claim that they have been told that any transfer is highly unlikely.
Indeed, Liverpool are not planning to make any big name additions this summer.
The Reds are ‘confident’ of keeping their current squad in place, but it seems that Jurgen Klopp will not be backed to make many signings, despite their success this term.
Liverpool are hardly desperate for new arrivals, but there may be some concern that they are going to pay for standing still.
If Liverpool don’t make a big name signing this summer it will be over two years since they have brought in a player to directly impact on their starting line-up.
Thiago may now have to look elsewhere, with Bayern said to be valuing him at £30 million.
