Didn't they simply say that "if he wants to leave, then we will deal with it", or words to that effect?

Praying this is true.
Sassy.
the third time is the charm for buying a crocked bayern midfielder
Again, that sounds quite like a negotiating position from Bayern, in the midst contract extension wrangles. At least it does to my ear, anyway.
I suppose we will see soon enough.
Probably top five among midfielders in the world. A dream signing. Only concerns is injuries.
My blood is still boiling when I think about David Moyes and the summer when he hesitated on both Kroos and Alcantara. The most incompetent decision in the history of football.

Kroos was put in place by Moyes, Van Gaal sabotaged Kroos.
Managing both would have been above his pay grade.
His injury record is concerning. Need to be careful how much we are offering for his wages.
Yep, chairman said he's off and they're selling him
Moyes didnt hesitate on Kroos...
Pay as you play deal would work if his side was open to it
Oh god, this would be a dream. But I'm not getting drawn into this again. Too painful when he inevitably holds up a Liverpool shirt.
Sancho, Sancho, focus on Sancho....

His age is absolutely perfect because we have a very similar 17 year old who will really benefit from Thiago. And then Thiago also gives us many options which we badly lack. Would be a excellent signing.
Would be a brilliant signing
I really hope someone comes out and either confirms or denies this transfer so I don't have to think about it past this week.
I’d take him for 20-25 million euros.
If he can perform what Matic does for us, then definitely count me in as wanting him. I know he can play the Pogba role and the Bruno role which is more attacking.
This. He's also at the right age where he won't block his development and pathway into the first team too much.
it could be, it could also turn into a 2 or 3 year nightmare where hes injured all the time.
Imagine a midfield with Pogba Thiago and Fernandes. I call it best of the league midfield
Worth taking the risk for about £20-30 Million IMO.
If he were to arrive (which he won't) I'm not sure how much his injuries would be a blow to us, he'd start when he was fit but we'd wouldn't be so over reliant on him like we were Pogba 12 months ago for example
It seems weird Thiago's made this almost public announcement he wants to leave Bayern without having a destination lined up so such is life our name is just being mentioned to drum up interest
They probably wouldn't agree to it. Maybe a minimum salary + another amount for when he makes the match day squad?
For a low fee and a pay as you play contract in some capacity it would still be worth it. What's his average games per season record at Bayern?
The last 4 seasons he's played
16/17 - 41 - games
17/18 - 32 - games
18/19 - 42 games
19/20 - 36 games
That's not bad at all you know.
Definitely not awful. Certainly justifies the risk for me.
It's confirmed his leaving right? So what options does he have. Juve, Psg and Liverpool i think. Now to find a reason why he wouldn't be able to join any of those
Juve is probably out with them getting Arthur IMO.
His injury record is on consistent number, the last 3 seasons he had about 2-3 months injury per season. His early seasons at Bayern were also pretty bad. But look, if the club has no problem with it as well as his wages, it doesn't really matter. He'll be signed for cheap fees (cheaper than Pjanic) and we're looking for to improve the quality of depth in Pogba & Bruno role.
Juve will always need midfielders
Too good to be true
Why are people talking about a pay as you play contract? 
Ffs he’s 29 not 39.
Ffs he’s 29 not 39.Who's he going to replace if we buy him? Matic? Pogba? Bruno?
He's very injury prone though. And we have form with buying knackered Bayern players that don't play when they're here.Why are people talking about a pay as you play contract?
I think the point is that he will laugh any club that offers him a pay as you play deal out the door.
