Thiago extended his contract until 2019 just one month ago, saying to BILD: "It has been two difficult years for me but the club always stood by me. You cannot give thanks with words, you have to give it back on pitch. My family is really feeling comfortable here. The extension is great. A good group is growing together here."



The midfielder is a regular in the Bayern side although his performances haven't been that impressive so far this season. Nevertheless, club, coach and player are happy with Thiago's current situation although a mega offer from City may well prove tempting.



The former Barca player isn't a Bayern role model in the mould of the likes of Thomas Muller and Philipp Lahm, though I expect Bayern would reject anything but a sensational bid for his services.
