Football: Neuer wants Bayern Munich to keep Liverpool target Alcantara

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer wants Bayern Munich to keep hold of midfielder Thiago Alcantara. BERLIN: Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer says he hopes the Bavarian giants can convince Liverpool target Thiago Alcantara to stay beyond the end of this season's Champions League title.

Bayern host Chelsea on Saturday in the last 16, return leg of the Champions League holding a 3-0 lead from the first leg in London last February before the coronavirus pandemic halted the competition. "Thiago had an operation, but is now fully back. He makes a good impression and he can be the engine in our midfield system," said Neuer, Bayern's goalkeeper and captain, in Munich on Friday.Team-mate Thomas Mueller has already said it would be"bitter" should Alcantara leave Bayern after their European campaign.

Having already won an eighth straight Bundesliga title and lifted the German Cup this season, Bayern are chasing the treble and are among the favourites from the Champions League title.
