Liverpool signed Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara from European champions Bayern Munich on this day in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Spain international was in the last year of his deal with the Bundesliga club and arrived at Anfield for an initial fee of \u00a320million.<\/p>\n

Thiago\u2019s signing had been anticipated by supporters for some time and he went straight into the squad to face Chelsea, playing 45 minutes in a 2-0 win.<\/p>\n

Thiago told the club\u2019s website: \u201cI think it\u2019s an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very, very happy to be here.<\/p>\n

Recommended<\/h3>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the years are passing, you are trying to win as much as you can \u2013 and when you win, you want to win more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this club describes what I am as well. I want to achieve all of the goals, win as many trophies as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thiago, who played in Liverpool\u2019s FA Cup final success in 2022, has made 97 appearances in his injury-hit three years at Anfield.<\/p>\n
