Thiago Alcantara: Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick jokes midfielder wants to stay following Champions League success
Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick joked that Thiago Alcantara has decided to stay at the club following their Champions League success, before admitting the midfielder’s future is still undecided.
Thiago played a starring role as Bayern beat Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday to win their sixth European Cup, but the match could prove to be his final appearance for the club.
The Spain international has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer and the Bundesliga champions seem to be resigned to losing him.
Last month, Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitted Thiago – who is out of contract at the Allianz Arena in 2021 – is seeking a new challenge, but Flick says the 29-year-old is yet to decide his next move.
„He told me he’s staying,“ the Bayern boss joked after the match.
„I just thanked him for our time together, just like I did with every other player.
„I don’t know and he doesn’t know yet either [where his future lies], because we all focused on this Champions League final.
„I think we will have to wait what the following days will bring.“
As well as winning the Champions League with Bayern, Thiago has won the Bundesliga title for the last seven seasons in a row after joining from Barcelona in July 2013.
