Chelsea – Liverpool will be seen on Sunday from 5:00 p.m. on TV 2 Sport Premium and Sumo.
Thiago Alcantara (29) has signed for Liverpool and brings world class to a team that will defend the Premier League title and regain the throne of European football.
The Spaniard has signed a long-term contract with Liverpool and has been awarded the sixth suit, Liverpool reports.
“I have been waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very happy to be here,” Thiago told the Liverpool website.
– Over the years, you try to win as much as you can, and when you win, you want to win more. This club describes who I am, someone who wants to achieve all my goals and win as many trophies as possible, it continues.
– The club also has the family feeling that I need. The players need a close relationship at the club and I think I will achieve it and also have that family feeling at this club, he continues.
– I will play with my heart and give everything I have on the pitch for my teammates, the club and the fans, he concludes.
Klopps beundring
The saga around Thiago has been going on for a few months. Ever since the 29-year-old midfielder decided to refuse a contract extension at Bayern Munich in May, rumors about Liverpool have been circulating. Bayern have insisted that they wanted 30 million euros (about 320 million crowns) for Thiago, and now they have received it. Informs, among others, El Atlético.
– Liverpool was like a family to me. But they hated me
One of the reasons Liverpool finally decided to fork out Bayern’s valuation was manager Jürgen Klopp’s admiration for Thiago, who was in his final year of contract with the Bundesliga giant. Liverpool will find itself in a tough financial position as a result of the crown pandemic and Klopp has reportedly been told that players must be sold before they can be bought.
– Fantastic. I am very happy that this has finally entered the box. He also has faith in our project, and I am very happy to have such a good person in the team, both as a player and at all other levels, says Klopp.
However, according to ESPN, Klopp has been given the green light to purchase Thiago even though it is not being sold to anyone. However, Georginio Wijnaldum, who has one year left on his contract, is rumored to be on his way to Barcelona.
Thiago has won everything there is to gain with Bayern Munich and brings a lot of quality and experience to Liverpool’s already strong midfield.
– Thiago is an exceptional player who has been here for seven years of success. He is an incredible person and an outstanding professional. It was very exciting today when he said goodbye to all of us, Bayern coach Hansi Flick said during a press conference on Thursday.
