Premier League champions Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich for £25million.
Thiago penned a four-year deal with the Reds and will wear the vacant number 6 shirt.
‘I think it’s an amazing feeling. I was waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very, very happy to be here,” Thiago told Liverpool’s official website.
‘When the years are passing, you are trying to win as much as you can – and when you win, you want to win more. I think this club describes what I am as well; I want to achieve all of the goals, win as many trophies as possible.

‘It also [has] this kind of family [feeling] that I need because we [like to] have a very close relationship with the club and I think I will feel this, I will have this feeling, with this club as well.’
He added: ‘I must adapt to the team as fast as I can in the situation and the context that we are living right now.
‘Everything is more compact and we started a little bit later, but still it is football and I think we have to mix all the big things up, all the good things we have. I will help the team in a defensive and offensive [way] and also in a mental aspect.
‘[The fans] are not more excited than I am, for sure not! It is not about saying words, it is about doing the things. I will give my heart on the field to my teammates, the club and also to the fans.’

Great signing by Liverpool. One of the best center midfielders on the planet. His performances for Bayern last season speak volumes of his quality. Strange that Bayern would let go such a pivotal player. But then, the lure of playing for Klopp can make an unlikely event a possibility.
