Liverpool transfer news: Thiago transfer inches closer

Liverpool fans believe Thiago is heading to Anfield after Reds duo Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold liked a post on Instagram highlighting Thiago's masterclass against Chelsea in the Champions League. Returning from a recent groin injury, the Spaniard played an hour against the Blues. He put in an impressive shift in the middle for the park as Bayern thrashed Chelsea 4-1. The 29-year-old followed it up with another stellar show against his former club Barcelona, which Bayern won 8-2.

While he did not get on the scoresheet in either match, he did impress with his movement, pressing and most importantly his passing range against both opponents. The aforementioned footage was captioned "Thiago masterclass. Anticipation, awareness, vision," showcasing his ability to control the pace of the proceedings. Jurgen Klopp is also a known admirer of Thiago, having previously waxed lyrical about the midfielder.

The report from RMC Sport further states that the midfielder has already found a house on Merseyside and that he has even announced his departure to England to some of his peers. A report from Germany claims the Reds have made a breakthrough in negotiations for the player. However, an official announcement will not be made until after the end of the Champions League this season. Bayern are the favourites to win the competition and both clubs would like to avoid unnecessary speculation until the season is over.
