Alcantara looks like he could be a superb signing for Liverpool, and Fabrizio Romano has told the Pod Save the Ball podcast that the Reds have been holding talks over potentially bringing him to Anfield, despite concerns over his asking price.

Bayern boss Flick has perhaps hinted that a move to Liverpool really could be on, as he seemed to suggest it’s looking likely that the 29-year-old will be heading to the Premier League next.

It’s not that clear if this is a prediction or an opinion from Flick, but it’s interesting to see the Bayern manager publicly talk up a potential move to England for his player while all this transfer gossip is going on.

“As a person and as an athlete, I can understand him,” Flick told German outlet Sport Bild, as translated by the Metro.

“Thiago played for Barcelona, and seven years for Bayern. Now he wants a new challenge, which in my opinion must be the Premier League.”
