It’s official. Thiago Alcantara is a Liverpool player, after the 29-year-old Spanish international born in Italy to Brazilian parents arrived in Merseyside this morning to complete his move from Bayern Munich.
His arrival is the second signing of the summer for the Reds after the signing of left-back Kostas Tsimikas, and it’s something of a coup – a superstar in his prime who chooses to leave one of the best teams in football for the Liverpool challenge and play low. the address of Jürgen Klopp.
With just one year left on his contract with Bayern, he’s also a bargain. Just £ 20M guaranteed plus an additional £ 5M in add-ons, and with the base fee paid in equal installments over the four years of the deal, the player has now signed with Liverpool.
While Alcantara will not be in a rush to make an impact on the Reds, make no mistake, he is being signed to be part of Klopp’s first-choice eleven, and there aren’t many players in football to say that about.
This is a Liverpool team that in the last two years has won the Champions League, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the Premier League. Midfield was one of his strongest and deepest positions. And today it got a little stronger and deeper.
Welcome to Liverpool, Thiago Alcantara.
