Bayern boss Hansi Flick talks about Thiago and Alaba after Bavarians winning the DFB-Pokal.
"I'll do my best and try everything to keep both Alaba and Thiago. I don't know the current state of affairs And I know that it's a bit more difficult with Thiago. I see things positively and always have hope." said Flick.
"Alaba knows that he's massively appreciated at the club. It would be very special to finish his career at the club where he started.
"Alaba scored a world class goal today. He has matured into a very special player in this position. He is very important for a coach.
"The same goes for Thiago, I'd very happy if we can hold on to them.
"Thiago is exceptional. I try to keep the team together. He has got a strong identification with the club.
"It's important to see that his level is at 100% again. In his short time today on the pitch, he was important for us."
"I know that you can flirt with other leagues when you reach a certain age. But I will try everything to convince him to stay."
