Liverpool FC are no closer to securing a deal to sign Alex Teixeira with a big gulf between what they are willing to pay for the Brazilian and Shakhtar Donetsk’s valuation.
The Reds are keen to bring the 26-year-old to Anfield, and last week tabled an initial offer of £24.5m with CEO Ian Ayre flying to Florida – where Shakhtar are based at a winter training camp - to personally hold talks.
Shakhtar, though, value their top scorer closer to £38m, and as yet there has been no sign of a compromise fee being reached, despite negotiations.
