Shakhtar want €50M for Teixeira

Shakhtar Donetsk boss Mircea Lucescu believes Liverpool
target Alex Teixeira is worth €50 million (£38m).

360 Metrosports gathered that Liverpool are struggling to meet
Shakhtar’s valuation of the 26-year-old attacking midfielder,
having already told to increase the £24 million bid they
submitted last week.

Liverpool are yet to table a second offer for the Brazil, while
Lucescu claims that the club are targeting a signing who
could reach the same level as Angel Di Maria.

"He’s worth €50m," the Shakhtar coach told FourFourTwo .

"He’s incredible, very fast, very good technique. I compare
him with other players of the same age who changed [the
fortunes of] a club, Di Maria for example at Paris Saint
Germain.

"Teixeira can be at the same level, better even. He doesn’t
get injured, and every year he gets better and better."
