According to Don Balon, Real themselves are keen on the midfielder. The report also says that the next few days will be crucial in determining whether Thiago does indeed make the move to the La Liga giants.
With both parties reportedly keen on the move, it appears as though this one could be just a matter of time.
The Spaniard is a self-obsessed football fanatic. He said in an interview with the Guardian:
"I always loved football so much and I knew from a very young age I was going to be a footballer; I used to watch the way they did everything really closely. I lived with it.
