Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp previews Aston Villa clash
Liverpool have reportedly offered Thiago a four-year contract after agreeing personal terms. The claim would suggest a deal is moving fast after Bayern Munich confirmed yesterday that the Spaniard would leave the club at the end of the season.
Bayern have been in negotiations with Thiago over a new deal for several months but the midfielder informed them that he wishes to move on to a new challenge.
That could come in the form of Liverpool, with whispers in the Bayern dressing room that Thiago wants to move to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp is believed to be plotting a cut-price deal for Thiago as he looks to bolster his midfield options with a world-class addition.
Bayern will accept an offer for the star should their valuation of £31million be met.

The club were forced to withdraw their interest in Timo Werner due to the financial implications of COVID-19.
UEFA have extended the transfer window until October, which could allow them to build up some funds to reinvest in the squad.
Furthermore, Adam Lallana will leave the club at the end of the season meaning there is at least one vacancy in the squad.
Dejan Lovren and Xherdan Shaqiri are also set to consider their future.
