Thiago Alcantara is very confident a summer move to the Premier League is possible.

A deal to Liverpool by the Bavarian is achievable after turning down an offer to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena.

The Express reported on Thursday that Manchester United are certain of reaching an agreement with the 29-year old but the Daily Star and Daily Mirror have readdressed their speculation pointing Thiago’s future to the Premier League champions to work with Jurgen Klopp.

The lack of creativity in midfield is a major challenge for Liverpool if they want to defend the League title next season for the reason that opponents who are able to halt their laterals from operating normally overcome them.

The 29-year old Spaniard is certain to leave Germany for England and Liverpool is ahead of the race, but don’t rule out other interests.  

The Reds refusal to sign committed Timo Werner is evidence that until the pen is put to paper, speculated players' future at Anfield cannot be assured.
