Bayern Munich could have a bidding war for Thiago Alcantara

Bayern Munich may get a big fee for Thiago Alcantara as multiple clubs show interest.

At the end of June, it was clear that Thiago Alcantara was set to be available for transfer this summer. One of the best midfielders in Europe wants to experience a new adventure after rejecting a contract offer from Bayern Munich. As we enter the final month of the transfer window, there is still no official bid for Thiago yet.

However, it has been pretty clear in English and German media that Liverpool is likely to be his destination, but there has been very little movement. The price for Thiago has been reportedly fixed by Die Roten at €30 million.

The delay in transfer might not help Thiago and Die Roten for sporting reasons. The German club could benefit financially if things continue to get dragged with Liverpool. The reported interest from Manchester United in the past couple of weeks force Liverpool and even start a bidding war between both Premier League giants.

On Monday, SportBild also reported that Barcelona is also showing interest in the Spanish midfielder. Some of the biggest clubs in Europe can go head to head for this transfer, which could help Die Roten to harden their stance regarding a transfer fee. For a player like Thiago, €30 million looks like a bargain even in COVID affected market.
