Is that what he's looking for salary wise ? I'd imagine he's going to want at least double that

[Chazza]

Yeah I've seen those wages mentioned.

I would imagine a hefty signing on fee then.

That's about €60k per week. That seems very cheap for a big money signing.

Skysports news say they got some big news coming up regarding Teixeira, which probably means nothing new has happened.

Not sure why I quoted you there.

Player is now trying to exert some pressure, saying he wants to leave during this window. They still hold the aces though.

Suarez was on relative buttons to when he joined too. They know if they do the biz they'll be on proper whack before long and off to Barca not long after

Most leagues do play relatively low wages compared to the big leagues, especially the PL where everything costs much more. £45k p/w is a massive amount in most leagues.

Exactly that much wonga in Ukraine goes a long way,prob doesnt have tax on that as well.

I reckon we'll leak a back page filling rumour we're talking to another big money attacker, to panic them into lowering their price.

Alex Teixeira has told Shakhtar Donetsk he wants to join Liverpool, according to Sky sources.

Sky sources also understand Liverpool have made a £25m bid for the Brazilian midfielder, who has attracted interest from Chelsea.

Teixeira is said to count compatriots Phillipe Coutinho and Lucas Leiva as two of his best friends in the game and would become Jurgen Klopp's second signing of the January transfer window if a deal can be completed before the February 1 deadline.

Klopp, who secured the signature of Serbia midfielder Marko Grujic earlier this month, refused to comment when asked about the potential arrival of Teixeira at Anfield last week.

Sky sources understand Teixeira's representatives are currently waiting for a response from Shakhtar as they attempt to push through a move to Liverpool.

The 26-year-old has been in sensational form for Shakhtar this season, scoring 22 goals in only 16 matches, helping them top the Ukrainian Premier League.

Teixeira, who is currently with the Shakhtar first-team squad in Florida for a warm weather training camp, is contracted to the Donbass Arena until June 2018.

Teixera has supposedly liked a picture of him in a Liverpool kit on Instagram

When Teixeira follows the Anfield Cat then I'll believe something is happening.

No sooner.
