Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is resigned to losing Thiago Alcantara, with it his belief that the Bayern Munich star "looked like he was saying goodbye" at Estadio da Luz after Sunday's Champions League final.
Thiago played 86 minutes of Bayern's 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in European football's showpiece event, helping Hansi Flick's side wrap up the treble by dictating the pace of the game from the middle of the park.
Despite the fact that the 29-year-old still has one year left to run on his current contract, he is now expected to bring the curtain down on a hugely successful seven-year spell at Allianz Arena.
