		</div><p>Midfielder Thiago Alcantara admits he has been waiting a long time for his move to Liverpool.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old has signed a four-year deal at Anfield after completing an initial €22 million transfer from Bayern Munich, where he was in the final year of his contract.</p>
<p>Manager Jurgen Klopp has been a long-time admirer of the Spain international, who leapt at the chance to move to Liverpool.</p>

<p>“I think it’s an amazing feeling,” he told liverpoolfc.com. I was waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very, very happy to be here.</p>
<p>“When the years are passing, you are trying to win as much as you can – and when you win, you want to win more.</p>
<p>“I think this club describes what I am as well; I want to achieve all of the goals, win as many trophies as possible.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>Thiago’s signing has been anticipated by supporters for some time, even though initial indications were that Liverpool could not afford the reported £30million asking price.</p>
<p>However, a cut-price deal has been struck, which will increase with add-ons related to the progress and success the Reds have, and his arrival sent social media into meltdown.</p>
<p>“(The fans) are not more excited than I am, for sure not,” added the midfielder.</p>
<p>“It is not about saying words, it is about doing the things. I will give my heart on the field to my team-mates, the club and also to the fans.”</p>
<p>Klopp struggled to conceal news of the impending announcement at his midday pre-match press conference.</p>
<p>But he is delighted by the “exceptional” deal.</p>

<p>Klopp said: “It’s very exceptional because in our situation, a lot of people around us talk constantly – ‘What are you doing? – bam, bam, bam’.</p>
<p>“Then preparing something like this, working on all different things you have to work in a transfer like this – with thinking about a player like him already is a joy, to be honest, because it gives us obviously some options.</p>
<p>“I know all the people at Bayern wanted to keep him desperately, that’s normal and understandable because he played an important role, in the last season as well.</p>
<p>“He just was ready for a new challenge and he decided for us.</p>
<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="CFSEUCulmvW" data-captioned layout="responsive" width="600" height="600"><button overflow type="button">See more</button></amp-instagram></p>
<p>“It is about the club, it’s about the team, that he wanted to join us. That’s really cool.</p>
<p>“But did I think about him earlier? I thought a lot about him but never as a potential transfer, to be honest.”</p>
<p>Earlier in the day Thiago had bid an emotional farewell to Bayern, saying he wanted a “new challenge”.</p>
<p>“I have made the most difficult decision of my sports career,” he said in a video posted on Twitter.</p>
<p>“I will close this chapter on this wonderful club where I have grown as a player for seven years. Triumphs, joy and also hard times.</p>
<p>“But what I am most proud of is that I arrived in Munich as a young man filled with dreams and now I will leave completely fulfilled with a club, a history and a culture.</p>
<p>“My decision is purely of a sporting nature. As a soccer player I want new challenges to develop myself further.”</p>
<p>Liverpool’s summer spending may not be over yet as the PA news agency understands they have an interest in Wolves forward Diogo Jota.</p>
