Manager Jurgen Klopp is set to secure the signature of Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara ahead of the summer transfer window.

The German boss is keen to add depth to his squad and sees the midfielder as a viable option for his team.

It is claimed that a deal of £31 million has already been agreed for the player and an announcement is imminent as soon as the window is opened.

The 29-year-old is also interested in the deal which makes it an easy one for the current Premier League Champions.

However, a former Reds midfielder Steve Nicol, who spoke to ESPN, expressed fears that the German boss might regret his decision to buy the Bayern Munich midfielder.

According to him, Thiago is a great player with big quality who has the ability to pass the ball and that is well needed but it will go a long way in changing the way Liverpool play.

He noted that Liverpool have a style and changing it to cost the team of it’s efficiency in the coming season.

Steve Nicol stated that Jurgen Klopp must make a decision between signing a great player and keeping the team strong to win titles as he stressed that there is no point touching what is not broken.
