Thiago refuses to answer questions on future as Barcelona & Madrid rumours swirl

The Bayern Munich midfielder used to play at Camp Nou, and the La Liga giants are reportedly keen to re-sign him, though he is keeping quiet

Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara has refused to answer questions on his future, as he continues to be linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Thiago joined Bayern from Barca in 2013, with the Spain international struggling for game time and behind Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas in the club's midfield pecking order.

However, manager Ernesto Valverde is reported to have identified Thiago as a key target this summer, as he bids to add depth to his midfield following Iniesta's departure.
