Bayern Munich are convinced Liverpool will make another bid for Thiago Alcantara.
Fabrizio Romano claims Jurgen Klopp is pushing the club to sign the Spain midfielder.
Manchester United have had contact with Alcantara's representatives, but not Bayern.
The German club is reportedly seeking €30m for the 29-year-old.
Liverpool could be waiting to sell Gini Wijnaldum before moving for Thiago.
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman is very keen to sign Wijnaldum, who has one year remaining on his contract.
