not a chance in hell,sadly
Less likely than the Suarez rumours.
At best Pep can do him a solid and sniff around and get Bayern to give him a pay increase. He's not blocked in the Bayern team like Thiago was and he's a very popular player there. There's simply no motivation for Bayern to sell him unless they think he was dramatically overrated or he's going to flop for some unknown reason. I'd love to have him but it's really not realistic in any way.Why so pessimistic? Remember when Thiago Alcantara was at Barcelona he was young and talented, but at a lower pecking order than an ageing Xavi, Fabregas and Iniesta, no one would have thought he would leave for Germany when he was destined to be patient and wait for a starting spot. Instead he followed his fellow spaniard Pep to Bayern. If Pep really wants him I don't think it would be impossible for him to consider a move.
I don't think it would be a good idea to sell De Bruyne, even if we had Sane. Thiago is a quality player but I feel like we need to strengthen our full back positions more than anything else.
That's the rumourunfortunately its about £20 mill short of making Bayern even consider the move. Maybe a Kimmich+Thiago swap for KDB and a little cash would be considered.
