One of the best young central midfielders in the world, Thiago Alcantara’s sale to Bayern Munich in 2013 for a paltry €18 million is seen as one of the worst transfers in Barcelona’s recent history. Calm, composed and always able to pick the right pass, Thiago is capable of playing in multiple midfield positions and is one of the integral members of Carlo Ancelotti’s all-conquering Bayern Munich side.

However, there have been recent reports of Barcelona looking to sign their former midfield star with Thiago also reportedly interested in a move back to his home country. Thiago’s brother Rafinha is already a first team member and a family reunion might be on the cards soon.

A La Masia graduate and extremely familiar with the Barcelona style of play, Thiago Alcantara is the ideal long-term replacement for Andres Iniesta.
