Contrary to recent suspicions, Thiago Alcántara took part in training for FC Bayern on Friday.
It was recently assumed that the Spaniard would be staying longer on vacation to prepare for his next move to Liverpool.
Also, all professionals who played in the Nations League were offered a longer break anyway.
Thiago was one of them, but the midfielder entered the field on Säbener Strasse at 11am on Friday.
Bayern head coach Hansi Flick, on the other hand, was not present at the first training session of the Munich team’s joint squad. He attended the funeral of former TSG Hoffenheim president Peter Hofmann.
He had recently died of blood cancer at the age of 61. Flick worked as a TSG coach from 2000 to 2005 and was also the Bundesliga club’s sporting director from 2017 to 2018.
Bayern’s first competitive match with Thiago?
More recently, the Bayern manager had emphasized that he was still planning with Thiago while he was “part of the team.” The Spanish international’s contract expires in the summer of 2021.
Bayern had “fulfilled all their wishes” in the negotiations for a new contract, as CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge made clear a few weeks ago. However, the player announced that he wanted to leave the club.
