Thiago’s wife sends Instagram message about Liverpool as new star named on bench

Thiago’s wife has sent her husband a message of support following his transfer to Liverpool debut and potential Premier League debut.

Jurgen Klopp was keen to get the former Bayern Munich star registered to play for the Reds this weekend, after he completed a £26million move.

It’s not clear whether Thiago trained with his new team-mates ahead of this weekend’s clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard wasn’t captured in any pictures at the training ground, suggesting Klopp has yet to get a close look at Thiago at Melwood.

But it seems the German is keen to get him involved as soon as possible, and has named him on his bench this Sunday – meaning Thiago could well make his Premier League debut this weekend.

Thiago’s wife Julia Vigas posted the following message to Instagram this weekend.

Alongside a picture of Thiago at Anfield, she wrote: “So happy to start this new adventure with you and our kids. Very proud of you. We love you papi.”

Julia also included an acronym of Liverpool’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” slogan.

Thiago revealed his delight to sign for Liverpool after the transfer was officially confirmed on Friday.

The Spaniard 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.

“When the years are passing, you are trying to win as much as you can – and when you win, you want to win more.

“I think this club describes what I am as well; I want to achieve all of the goals, win as many trophies as possible.”
