Liverpool have signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich in a deal that could rise to £25m.

According to Goal, the Spain international has signed a four-year contract and will wear the No.6 shirt at Anfield.

Thiago arrived in the UK on Friday morning, flying in to Manchester from Munich to complete a medical and finalise the deal.

Skysports source said: "The 29-year-old helped Bayern win the treble last season, as they beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final last month in Lisbon."

Thiago, speaking on Liverpool's official website, said: "I think it's an amazing feeling. I was waiting for this moment for a long time and I am very, very happy to be here."

Thiago, who will wear the No.6 shirt at Anfield, had long been linked with a move to Merseyside, but Liverpool had remained tight-lipped on reports in Germany that the 29-year-old had chosen the Premier League champions as his next club.

Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol told The Transfer Show:  "Liverpool signingThiago shows how high Liverpool's standing is right now in world football because this is a player who is the best in the world at what he does. He's been at Bayern Munich for seven seasons, he's won a title every season, he's just won the Champions League and was one of the best players in the competition last season.

"Bayern were aware his contract was running out next summer. They put a new contract in front of him, a four-year deal and they thought it was all agreed, he was going to sign on the dotted line but at the last minute, he had a change of heart and decided to leave this summer. Bayern decided to let him go and he wants a new challenge which is at Liverpool."
