Liverpool continue to push to sign Alex Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Liverpool reportedly offered $36 million but Shakhtar is holding out for closer to $50 million.

With 22 goals in 15 league games for Shakhtar this season, Teixeira has spoken openly about his desire to leave Ukraine in January, keen for a move to the Premier League.

 

If Teixeira were to move to Liverpool, he could create an all-Brazilian attacking trio with Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.
