Kloppo’s happy

Jürgen, it’s a major announcement and piece of news for LFC today with the signing of Thiago Alcantara. Tell us your immediate reaction and how happy are you that this is done?

[Celebrates] Great! Absolutely great. I’m really happy that it finally worked out and we could just do it. It’s very exceptional because in our situation, a lot of people around us talk constantly – ‘What are you doing? – bam, bam, bam. 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. Then you get in contact with the boy and then you realise, OK, he obviously likes this project as well pretty much, even before he is here, which was really nice. I learned more and more about him as a person; the player I knew before, the person I learned. So I’m really happy to bring this wonderful person in as an add-on to the squad, which is just good for football reasons – but for all the other reasons as well. So, yeah, absolutely happy that he’s here.

The rest of his quotes here.

Think his registration needed to be completed by 12 to be available so possibly I guess, doubt he'll be chucked straight in though but who knows!

It all started with a phone call in June.

Thiago Alcantara was close to penning a lucrative new four-year contract with Bayern Munich worth around £12 million per year (£230,000 per week) when his head was turned.

The Spain international was informed that Jurgen Klopp wanted him at Liverpool.

A friend of Thiago’s family told The Athletic: “Earlier this year, it seemed certain that he was going to extend his contract with Bayern Munich but then Liverpool’s interest escalated and this suddenly changed everything.

Could play on Sunday according to the boss, he's pretty much keeping all his options open!

Just finally, Liverpool fans will be keen to know when might they first see him on the pitch. Any chance for Sunday or will it be looking like next week onwards?

If they watch LFCTV this afternoon, he will train! You meant the match… we will see. I didn’t make the squad now for Sunday. We will see what we can do. I didn’t meet him now, we had only phone calls and exchanged messages. So, let’s have a look how he feels. Around a transfer like this the days are pretty busy with things you usually don’t do. If he looks alright, we will find the right place for him.
