Donetsk's asking price for Willian was €35m and he joined Anzhi for €32.5m
Donetsk's asking price for Mkhitaryan was €30m and he joined Dortmund for €26m
Donetsk's asking price for Douglas Costa was €35m and he joined Bayern Munich for €28m

Donetsk are asking for €50m for Alex Teixeira and our offer was €32m!!! Not a cat in hells chance can I see us agreeing a deal unless Liverpool start being realistic and raise their asking price significantly.

Fixed your post!

Fixed your post!

That ain't going to happen especially for a player that is uncapped.

Hard to know who this will play out, the club will up their offer I think but I'd imagine it'll be no more than £30m and maybe some generous add on's but that might well not be enough.

Gets right on my tits,especially as he never acknowledges the mods when asked. Could you give him a week's holiday until the window's shut?

Whoever the director of football at that club is we should recruit him instead of Teixeira as he can certainly spot talent!

Its easy to spot talent when your governing body doesn't mind clubs bringing in players from South America regardless of age, experience, proven talent. Its like Portugal in that regard.

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.

18:09, 24 JAN 2016 UPDATED 18:09, 24 JAN 2016 BY NEIL JONES

Talks ongoing, but no progress with Shakhtar Donetsk holding out for £38m

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.

Liverpool believe Teixeira would welcome the chance to move to Merseyside and fulfil a long-held desire of playing in the Premier League. The versatile attacker has scored 26 goals for Shakhtar this season, but has made it clear that he is ready to move on, whether in this window or in the summer.

Liverpool anticipated that negotiations with Shakhtar would prove difficult. The Ukrainian club are in no rush to sell their most prized asset, and hope that interest from elsewhere may spark a bidding war.

From Liverpool’s perspective, the desire to get a deal done remains, but with just over a week left until the transfer window closes, there would need to be a significant shift in the two clubs’ respective valuations for that to happen.

funny really we stumped up the asking price of £32 million squids for Benteke and £25 million for Lallana and now were haggling

[TheElephantMan]

Meet them half way and (hopefully) job's a good 'un. If the player genuinely wants to come here then we'll get him, I think we're a much more attractive proposition now that we have the Klopp factor.

Does it matter anymore? So many complete bull****ters out there, even if cream was making it up it hardly changes anything. I don't think he was for what's its worth.

[Gibbo]

Maybe we are haggling because we don't want another Benteke/Lallana on our hands, they were prospects that we rated as a club too, just because that's the case doesn't mean it's gonna go well should we get him.

I don't have a problem with us having a smaller wiggle room policy unless it's on real consistent quality from a top level eg Gotze.

Although saying that Willian and Costa aren't bad players, Although I have no idea how this lads Shaktar career compares to theirs.

[kev776]

Both were proven in the PL he is not

[Gibbo]

I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.

Interesting way to look at it.
