Why Thiago is the heartbeat of Bayern Munich midfield?

The final verdict
The current scenario amidst the novel coronavirus pandemic has placed a significant financial burden on clubs. Bayern seems to be on the verge of sealing a deal for Leroy Sane to bolster their attack. Making amendments in the midfield segment at the moment might not be a plausible decision.
Die Roten did a good job by signing a few young players to bolster their midfield roster last year. Mickael Cuisance and Sarpreet Singh arrived with promising futures. Thiago’s presence in the squad could be vital for Bayern, both on and off the pitch.
Hansi Flick has laid a solid foundation at the base of midfield. The chemistry between Joshua Kimmich and Thiago is a major contributing factor for Die Roten’s effective ball movement on the pitch. He also seems to have found his feet in front of the goal. Thiago has netted thrice in his last eight league outings.
Under Niko Kovac, Thiago managed to net only two goals in 38 league fixtures. Cuisance and Singh can continue to operate as Thiago’s understudy in the near term. Learning the trade from one of the finest midfielders in the game will be a great learning curve for the young midfielders.

A player of Thiago’s caliber is a potent asset for any team at any time. He is going to get even better as he enters the prime years of his career. Securing his future will be a big boost to the club’s plans going forward. Moreover, the Spaniard is settled in Bavaria and wants to win more silverware including the Champions League trophy. It is a win-win situation for all parties.
