Bayern Munich chief Rummenigge says Liverpool target Thiago can leave

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinze Rummenigge says Thiago Alcantara can leave - though no offers have yet arrived.

Rummenigge says Thiago told sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic that he is seeking a change as he enters what will likely be the final peak years of his career.

Liverpool have been most heavily linked with the 29-year-old, but Rummenigge says Bayern have not had any approaches.

"Hasan had talks with Thiago," Rummenigge said on Thursday at the presentation of new signing Leroy Sané. "Curiously, they were always very positive. But he told Hasan some time ago that he wants to do something new to finish his career.

"So far, no club has contacted us. We don't know if he's settled things with a new club. The fact is we want the play the Champions League [in August] with Thiago and David Alaba."
