Liverpool target Thiago Alcantara wants to LEAVE Bayern Munich... and they will sell him this summer with his deal to expire in 2021 as chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admits: 'We don't want to lose him for free next year!'

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has sensationally confirmed that highly-coveted midfielder Thiago wants to leave the club.

The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the recently-crowned Bundesliga champions, and the stunning admission from the upper reaches of the club will place Liverpool on red alert.

The Anfield giants have often been touted to make a move for the former Barcelona talent - and boss Jurgen Klopp is also believed to be a fan of the Spain international.
