A lot of things would have to come together," Thiago told Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia when asked if he sees himself finishing at Bayern. "I would have to remain at my level.

He's a great guy, really hard working, with unbeatable technique and incredible finishing. "Players go through good moments and some not so good ones and he brings us a lot. We hope he's here next season too."
