Liverpool FC has finalized the deal for the permanent transfer of Thiago Alcantara from FC Bayern Munich. Liverpool completed the transfer for €30m in one of the biggest transfers of the summer window.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard says the signing of Thiago Alcantara gives him ‘butterflies’,
“To be honest with you I’m more excited for the Thiago transfer [than the Gareth Bale to Tottenham move], that’s the one that’s giving me butterflies in my stomach,” he said.
The 29-year-old Spanish professional footballer was a former Barcelona and Bayern player. The 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.
