Bayern Munich have welcomed interest from Liverpool in Thiago Alcantara.

The Spain international has pulled back from new contract talks with Bayern amid talk of him instructing his agents to sound out Liverpool about a potential summer switch.

BILD says Bayern teammates believe Thiago will leave them at the end of this season - and will head to Merseyside.

And for their part, Bayern's board are willing to do business with contract talks having stalled.

Bayern intermediaries have made it clear Thiago can leave for offers starting at €50m.
