Since emerging into the scene for Ernesto Valverde’s side a number of years ago, Thiago has since managed to establish himself as one of the best midfielders on the planet.

There aren’t many players that can match the player’s high level of composure and ability on and off the ball, something that has seen him slot into both Barca and Bayern’s sides with ease.

If Bayern are to let go of Thiago, it remains to be seen as to whether Barca or Madrid will be each other in the race for the player and land one of the most technically-brilliant players on the planet.
