Thiago Alcantara has confirmed he wants to leave Bayern Munich.
Club chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the Spaniard had told sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic that he would like a new challenge.
"The talks Hasan had with him have always been very productive. And at some point it actually seemed that it was done [a new contract at Bayern]," he told Sky Germany.
"But then Thiago informed Hasan that he would like to do something new. We have to accept that."
