A former Anfield favourite is worried that the Spain international "will change the dynamics" of a title-winning team the more he plays
Thiago Alcantara doesn't play the Liverpool way, according to Dietmar Hamann, who has advised Jurgen Klopp to be "very cautious" with the £20 million ($27m) midfielder.
Liverpool snapped up Thiago on a four-year contract from Bayern Munich in September, in a deal which was seen as a major coup for the newly-crowned Premier League champions.
The two-time Champions League winner played a key role in Bayern's run to the treble last season, but chose to take up a new challenge at Anfield instead of signing an extension at Allianz Arena.
