“Everything fits. I want to win many titles with FC Bayern in the future. "
The club’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed his delight at announcing the deal: “Thiago is one of the best and therefore the most coveted midfielders in Europe.
“We are very happy that we have been able to bind this outstanding professional to the club in the long term.”
