Carlo Ancelotti has joked that seeing Thiago Alcantara join Liverpool "breaks my heart" as he tells the midfielder he has chosen the wrong team on Merseyside. Liverpool earlier today confirmed the signing of the 29-year-old midfielder who played under Ancelotti at Bayern Munich. p:nth-of-type(2)","sizes":[[8,8]],"hideOnSensitiveArticle":true,"relativePos":"after","additionalClass":"in-article","name":"div-gpt-ad-vip-slot","type":"VIP"}' data-gpt-placeholder="" data-type="gpt" data-google-query-id="CMqdxMWC9OsCFUOfhQodyXUMmw"> Ancelotti described Thiago as a "fantastic player" but joked with the Spanish international he "chose the wrong team" in the city.

I had the luck in my career to train top, top players and Thiago is one of them
Paying something off over a period of time doesn't mean you can't afford to buy it outright and to take it to your conclusion ,nobody should have a mortgage!
Liverpool will pay only £4million up front for Diogo Jota this summer after Wolves agreed to take the transfer payment ininstallments, according to The Athletic. Liverpool will make Jota their third signing of the window but will again use a payment structure rather than forking out the entire fee in one go.
Incredible business by the club. We’re effectively paying £10m for two players in the first 12 months. Hopefully after this, football economics becomes more stable!
What a day that was. Thiago and Jota - 1 world class player, and the other provides the necessary cover for the front without the massive drop. Add a centre back, and we have the strongest squad we’ve ever had IMO.
Interesting story - we held talks with Barcelona 7 years ago to sign Thiago but Brendan Rodgers didn’t think he was good enough ...
The club made £42m profit in 2018-19 season despite spending £223m on players and new contracts, so £65m over 4 years is hardly mortgaging our future is it?
How much is it that Utd owe? Same rule apply to them? No? Just us? Phased payments have been around in football for an age. This is just a particularly good deal for us....sorry that you don’t like it
Klopp makes me feel like a kid at Christmas. In the lead up your folks keep telling you that they couldnt get you what you wanted, you need to be really good and wish really hard and see what happens, then on the day all your presents are there and it turns out he's a lying bastard and has been stringing you along all this time.
That's less than what the Glazers will pay themselves in dividends despite Man Utd being crap and half a billion pounds in debt
Liverpool have agreed to sell Ki-Jana Hoever to Wolves for a fee worth £13.5million in total, Football Insider understands. The Midlands outfit are finalising the capture of the versatile defender, 18, amid a whirlwind of transfer activity on Merseyside.
I was fairly impressed with hoever when he played, looked more than capable for an 18 year old. But we do seem to have a very good crop of defenders coming through. If hoever is the worst of them we are in good stead.
