Thiago Alcantara left FC Barcelona four years back to join German giants Bayern Munich. He was drawn away from Barcelona by former boss Pep Guardiola when he joined as Bayern manager.

The move was also made easier by the fact that his release clause with Barca at the time was just £15million because he didn’t play 60 per cent of that season’s matches.
