Brazilian attacker Alex Teixeira has made it clear that he wants to leave Shakhtar Donetsk in this transfer window to move to the Premier League.
During an interview with NBC, the player admitted that an initial offer from Liverpool was rejected, and it’s a negotiation that requires patience. The preference for Liverpool is evident in his words, but first, the Reds have to convince the Ukrainian club’s officials. Alex Teixeira would also love the opportunity to play alongside his old friend from Vasco’s youth system, Philippe Coutinho. Teixeira said: “I want to go there, it’s a huge club and so many great players have passed through there. But there has only been one offer of €32 million and Shakhtar rejected it. It is frustrating, but the manager and club president decided against it, so now I am just waiting, trying to be patient. I know my agent is still trying everything possible to help me get to Liverpool.”
He added: “I have played with Coutinho since we were 10 years old. It would be a lot of fun to play with him again. But now it’s up to the club president and I can only hope. I don’t know what else to say.”
