Alex Teixeira could finally sign for Liverpool!
Liverpool and Shakter Donetsk agree a fee of £38m.
After having an initial bid of £24m rejected, Liverpool have agreed to meet Shakter’s valuation of £38m. The fee won’t be paid straight away with it being made up in installments relating to the players performances.
Liverpool how are still not in the Champions League spots will be hoping the signing will boost the team morale and goal scoring form. Finishing out of the top 4 will be a major blow for Jurgen Klopp in his first season at the helm.
“I would like to move in this transfer window and have told them [Shakhtar] that,” he said.
“They have received a very good offer and they are working on a solution. But if I don’t go now then I will leave in the summer.
“After six years in Europe and with Shakhtar we are ready to move and I have spoken to my wife and daughter.
“It is my desire to move to a big league and I know that the English league is very strong.
“I am ready and I know that I will grow up a lot there.
“I am aware that two big clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea are interested but I haven’t given my word to either of them.
“I am not ruling out other leagues but I do want to play in the Premier League. In my mind, it is the strongest in the world.
“I want a challenge and to further my career there. My aim is to move to a big club so that I can well there and get a place in the Brazil squad.
“Everyone knows that it is hard to achieve and I need to leave here to achieve that goal.”
