Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on Tuesday he is “cautiously optimistic” of keeping David Alaba, but is braced to lose Liverpool target Thiago Alcantara once the Champions League finishes in Lisbon, Portugal.
Having routed Chelsea 7-1 on aggregate in the last 16 following Saturday’s 4-1 win in Munich in the return leg, Bayern face Barcelona in the quarter-finals on Friday in a clash of European heavyweights. With a year left on their contracts, both defender Alaba and central midfielder Alcantara are stalling over extensions.
Alcantara, 29, who has been heavily linked to Liverpool, has long since signalled to the club that he wants to leave. So far, the Spaniard, who has won the Bundesliga title in each of his seven seasons in Munich, has rejected all of Bayern’s efforts to keep him. “It is known that he wants to do something new. If a club comes to us and offers a fair sum, we will deal with it,” Rummenigge said with an air of resignation at a media event in Munich on Tuesday.
