Reports in Germany now claim the player is eyeing a sensational switch to Liverpool, per Sport Bild who add that the club value him around £43 million.
It's believed Bayern Munich discussed Liverpool's interest during talks with the Spanish international keen on a switch to the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp spoke glowingly about Thiago after Liverpool 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."
Liverpool are looking to bolster their squad when the transfer window reopens.
But the club have already lost out on one of their transfer targets in the shape of Timo Werner, who'll join Chelsea ahead of the 2020/21 season.
