'Bild': Liverpool contact Bayern about Thiago

Thiago is closer and closer to Liverpool. The rumour is starting to crystalise into something palpable, real, and the German press assure that the negotiations have already started.

According to 'Bild', Liverpool have already got in contact with Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic. It's understood that Liverpool want to know, first hand, what price the Spanish midfielder has.

Rumour has it that there is a difference of 10 million between the offer and the amount requested. This first official contact will serve to smooth out rough edges and bring positions closer together. Thiago, as Flick revealed, has passed the point of no return.
