Premier League champions Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Thiago Alcantara from European champions Bayern Munich.
The midfielder, 29, is believed to have cost the Reds around €30m.
“Liverpool Football Club have completed a deal for the permanent transfer of Thiago Alcantara from FC Bayern Munich,” Liverpool announced on their official website on Friday.
“The Spain international midfielder has put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Reds and becomes the club’s second signing of the transfer window, following Kostas Tsimikas in August.”
Alcantara, who played for Barcelona before joining Bayern Munich, said: “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.
“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.”
The central midfielder, who has 39 caps for Spain and has won nine league titles, two Champions Leagues and two FIFA Club World Cups, 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.”
