Liverpool announced the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcántara on Friday and welcomed Wolves winger Diogo Jota on Saturday. The deal for Thiago is worth approximately £ 20 million ($ 25.9 million), according to ESPN. The 29-year-old’s contract was due to expire next summer with the Bavarians and the reigning Champions League champs were aiming to cash in and avoid losing him in a free transfer. Portugal international Jota signed a long-term contract after 16 goals in 67 Premier League games for Wolves.
Thiago, a Spain international, is one of the most creative midfielders in European football. With the ability to sit deep too and spray passes anywhere on the pitch, he plans to team up with Fabinho in the middle of the park for the reigning Premier League champions.
The Reds began their Premier League season last weekend, winning 4-3 against Leeds United with Mohamed Salah scoring a hat trick.
As for Jota, he’s a 23-year-old winger who would provide great depth, but he’s not on the level of being a consistent starter. He is likely to serve as insurance for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, while having the potential to become a future starter. Jota has 44 goals in the last three seasons at Wolves.
“It’s a really exciting time for me and my family,” Jota told the club’s official website.
“All my journey since I was a kid and now, joining a club like Liverpool, the world champion, is just amazing. I just want to start.
“They are one of the best teams in the world, the best right now because they are world champions. When you look at the Premier League, you always see Liverpool as one of the biggest teams in the country, so it’s impossible to say.” Not.”
Liverpool return to action on Sunday against Chelsea.
