“I am really excited about this move,” the midfielder told lfc.tv.

“This is something that I always wanted – this is a giant of a team. The infrastructures of the club look exceptional.

“A football club of this size coming after my services, I didn’t have to think that much about coming over.

“I will try to create my own history at this football club. Hopefully, on a personal level, I’m able to win titles with this club.

“I will try to grow and learn and improve myself, and to be part of the club’s history.”

BBC Sport adds Liverpool’s deal for the Brazilian ‘will likely be followed by the departure’ of Can, whom Juve have heavily been linked with signing on a Bosman free transfer.
