Bayern Munich and Thiago Alcântara closing in on contract extension
Posted on April 07, 2020
Ever since his move from Barcelona in 2013, Thiago Alcântara has been one of Bayern’s most consistent performers and ever-present faces in the starting XI.
Seven years later, the soon-to-be 29-year-old is set to be rewarded once again for his efforts.
According to Germain media, Bayern Munich and the Spaniard are close to agreeing on a contract extension that will keep him at the club for the foreseeable future.
Thiago’s current deal is set to expire next summer, having last signed an extension in 2017, according to football live data provider iSports API. Though it’s not clear how long the extension will run for, it’s widely believed that Bayern could offer the midfielder the maximum extension that would see him stay until 2025.
Like many of the Bayern Munich veterans, Thiago boasts an incredible trophy haul, having won a total of 21 major titles with Bayern (13) and Barcelona (eight), as per iSports football data.
