The Reds could swoop in for the world class midfielder with Jurgen Klopp speaking glowingly about him after his side played Bayern Munich in the Champions League last season.
"I've probably never seen them defend like that," he said.
"Respect to them as they made it difficult for us, although we had good situations where we missed the last touch.
"Thiago is a world-class footballer. He played that deep-lying playmaker role very well. Alongside [Javi] Martinez, they were very good."
