<p>According to friends of Alex Teixeira, the Brazilian still dreams of playing for a club like Liverpool but given the choice between a certain payday and waiting and hoping, he had to take the money.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Alex Teixeira, for a time, looked a near lock to end up at <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Liverpool</a>. The club had offered a hefty transfer fee for the uncapped Brazilian attacker, and by many reports were willing to raise their opening bid above the £30M mark to get a deal done. The player meanwhile was publicly agitating for the move.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shakhtar Donestk, though, stood firm on a valuation nearer £40M. Liverpool were willing to negotiate, but the Ukrainians weren’t. The deal fell through and that looked to be it until summer. Then, a surprise bid by Jiangsu Suning took him to the Chinese Super League. According to confidants, though, he still dreams of an England move.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I spoke to Alex and he said that things were well advanced," Teixeira’s friend and Fenerbahce midfielder Josef de Souza told Esporte Interativo. "He still keeps that dream, from what he told me, in his heart. Of course he wanted to play for Liverpool, to play in the Premier League, but it happened. Football has these things."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Teixeira by all accounts wanted a move to England that would pay well while giving him top quality football and a chance to prove he belonged in the Brazilian national team. A move to China will pay him well—better than the Premier League would have, even—but it won’t get him consideration from his country.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With no guarantee Liverpool would come back for him in the summer, though, or that if they or some other big club did Shakhtar would be any more willing to negotiate, he faced a choice between a sure thing and a dream. He took the sure thing, and with reports that sure thing included a wage of £150k per week after tax, it’s hard to blame him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I think it was good for him, good for his family," added de Souza. "Our careers are very short, and the more you can combine one thing with the other—play in a good league and earn money—that’s great. But if you can’t put the two together, it’s obvious that filling your pockets will speak much louder."</p>

<p>Despite playing for a league rival, Chelsea winger and fellow Brazilian Willian wishes Shakhtar Donetsk had been willing to deal Alex Teixeira to Liverpool in January.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In the end, money will have helped to make Alex Teixiera’s move to China a little easier, but we’ll never know what the Brazilian would have done if faced with the choice of moving to <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Liverpool</a> for £100k a week before tax or to Jiangsu Suning for £150k after. That was never on the table. The choice was taking a lucrative offer here now or waiting for something that might never happen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Former Shakhtar Donestk winger and fellow Brazilian Willian has some sympathy for Teixeira’s situation, and despite playing for one of Liverpool’s league rivals, he voiced his disappointment this week at Teixeira’s former club being unwilling to cut a deal to send the player to England. He also highlighted the uncertainty Teixeira would have been faced with had he decided to wait, uncertainty he lived with for two years at Shakhtar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"They prefer to sell to small clubs that can afford a higher fee than selling them to traditional clubs that wouldn’t pay the same amount of money," the 27-year-old told <a href="http://www.squawka.com/news/willian-shakhtar-donetsk-have-harmed-alex-teixeiras-international-prospects-by-refusing-to-sell-him-to-liverpool/595448">Squawka</a> this week when asked about the sudden spike in Brazilian talent moving to the Chinese Super League. "I know myself how difficult it is to negotiate with Shakhtar Donetsk. I suffered for two years there [trying] to leave the club."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool made an opening offer of £24.5M for Teixeira, talented and scoring a goal a game this season but without much of a track record as a top scorer. That at 26 years of age he had yet to make a single appearance for the senior Brazil team was another stumbling block, alongside his short track record as an elite scorer, to Liverpool or some other, more traditional club as Willian called them, paying the £38M Shakhtar wanted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With add-ons, Liverpool are believed to have worked their offer up closer to £29M by the end, though. There were even reports they might go as high as £32M if pushed. Yet with Shakhtar unwilling to budge a cent off their valuation of the player—a valuation that had already scared <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chelsea</a> off in the autumn—there simply wasn’t a deal to be done. There was also no guarantee that things would have changed come the summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"I wish him all the best in China," added Willian. "I’m sure the financial aspect was crucial to his decision. He’s a very good player and could easily adapt to English football. I’d personally [have been] happy if he’d come to the Premier League or even to another big European club, as it would have increased his chances to play for the Selecao."</p>

<p>Following Jackson Martinez' £32M move to Guangzhou Evergrande, rumours that Alex Teixeira could end up at Jiangsu Suning are beginning to look a lot more plausible.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">It’s February, and the winter transfer window has closed. At least for Europe’s biggest leagues. For Liverpool, it was an exceptionally quiet month: Steven Caulker arrived on loan, Marko Grujic was bought but loaned straight back to Red Star Belgrade, and a couple of loanees were recalled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There was also the Alex Teixeira transfer saga, but that ended in disappointment when Shakhtar Donetsk stuck to their €50M valuation for the 26-year-old Brazilian attacker coming off six world class months and who has yet to earn a single cap for his country. Everyone, though, seemed to agree they’d go back for him this summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They may not get that chance, as dubious whispers last week that an unnamed Chinese Super League suddenly look a whole lot less dubious following the £32M move of Atletico Madrid’s high profile Jackson Martinez to Guangzhou Evergrande. This following the £25M signing of Ramires by Jiangsu Suning last week.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is now being reported that Jiangsu Suning are the club seeking Teixeira, and that they are willing to meet Shakhtar’s €50M (£38M) valuation of the player. With the Chinese league’s transfer window open until the 26th of February, they would have plenty of time to sign and register the highly valued attacker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a league made up mostly of recently formed clubs, the Nanjing-based side are an outlier. Founded as a semi-professional club in 1958, they became professional in 1994 when they helped found the league. That didn’t help them on the pitch, as they were relegated that first season and only returned to the top flight in 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2015, they were bought by Suning Commerce Group and renamed from Jiangsu Sainty. Along with the name change has come an influx of cash and some success on the pitch in the form of a Chinese FA Cup. And now they want a few big name players, with Teixeira meant to become their centrepiece signing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the back of recent deals to bring pricy talent to China—and on the back of an eight billion yuan (£840M) domestic television rights deal—this seems far more plausible today than it did even a week ago. The only real question now is whether Teixeira, who wants to play for Brazil, is willing to accept a move to China.</p>

<p>Though they appear to have given up completely on signing Alex Teixeira before the close of the transfer window, reports claim Liverpool will be back for him in the summer.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Despite hopes heading into the day that there might be late some movement from Shakhtar Donestk when it came to their asking price for Alex Teixeira, it now appears Liverpool have entirely given up on any hopes of landing the 26-year-old Brazilian attacker before the close of the window.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool had made one offer of £24.5M plus £3M in potential add-ons for the leading scorer in the Ukrainian league and had shown signs of being willing to raise their base offer closer to £30M, but Shakhtar continued to insist it would take an offer of at least £38M to secure the services of Teixeira this month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In recent days, both sides had abandoned face-to-face negotiations and begun dealing largely through the press, Liverpool signalling their intent to walk away if Shakhtar wouldn’t come down in their asking price while Shakhtar pointed at the player’s buyout €70M (£53M) clause and shrugged in response.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With no sign of change early on deadline day, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp admitted to the press that he didn’t expect any major deals to get done before the close of the window. According to Sky Sports, though, giving up on Teixeira in the present doesn’t rule him out as a future possibility for the English club.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given Teixeira is cup tied for the Europa League, the main advantage to getting him in this month would have been giving him a chance to spent half a season acclimatising to the English game in the hopes he could hit the ground running next season. And that hardly seemed worth the premium Shakhtar were demanding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If the Ukrainian club are more willing to deal—which could depend largely on if any other suitors come forward between now and the end of the season—and Liverpool can get Teixeira for around £30M in a few months, it’s easy to see why the club might be inclined to wait on the player.</p>

<p>John Barnes thinks the Alex Teixeira to Liverpool deal isn't dead in the water just yet.</p> <p>With a day to go before the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors" class="sbn-auto-link">transfer window</a> slams shut, and <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Liverpool</a> having been linked to multiple players in an effort to fill multiple remaining squad holes, it should be unsurprising to hear of Alex Teixeira's name continue to crop up in a rumored move to Liverpool.</p>
<p>Former Anfield Legend and short short enthusiast John Barnes thinks there are still some legs to the negotiation for the prolific Shaktar Donesk midfielder. And who would know better about legs than John Barnes?</p>
<p>Anfield HQ's Twitter feed has quoted the Englishman as saying: "I would be wary of matching Shakhtar's massive valuation of Teixeira, but I can see late negotiations between the clubs happening." And perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that an extremely talented player that Liverpool have already bid a considerable amount of money for would still be a name being kicked around in the transfer war room.</p>
<p>Barnes also tempered the expectation with that all too familiar <i>but January</i> refrain: "January is a time of rumour and hearsay, but I hope to see the Teixeira come to Anfield before Monday's deadline."</p>
<p>Well then. Hardly inside football revelations there from Barnesy, but as far as we're concerned, one more run at the Shaktar man on or approaching deadline day would not be the worst way to bring this month to a close for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool. And surely the law of averages dictates that Liverpool will come away with one of these Shaktar approaches sooner or later?</p>

<p>After Liverpool made a show of walking away from negotiations in what many felt was an attempt to force Shakhtar's hand, the Ukrainian club insisted they will not be forced to sell Alex Teixeira this month.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool made an opening offer of €32M for Alex Teixeira, and journalists with ties to the club claimed there was a willingness to raise that offer to €38M should Shakhtar Donetsk be willing to negotiate. Shakhtar wasn’t, and Liverpool signalled they were willing to walk away from the deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether it was an attempt to call what they believed to be a Shakhtar bluff or simply an acknowledgement that they were unwilling to meet the Ukrainian club’s stated €50M valuation, the end result was the same. And for fans, the hope was that whatever the reasoning, that it would get Shakhtar to start negotiating.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If anything, it appears to have had the opposite effect, with Shakhtar’s chief executive going public about the stalled negotiations between the two clubs over the 26-year-old attacker who, for all his clear talent, has yet to earn a single international cap and has spent his career to date toiling in a weaker league.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Liverpool stopped at €32M and €4M of add-ons," said Sergei Palkin. "This was the last number offered, and our position is we do not want to sell Teixeira today. We will only sell at the end of the season. We need good results in the Europa League and Ukraine. At the end of the season we will sit down to negotiate."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Palkin went on to add that Shakhtar’s manager wanted Teixeira to stay until the end of the season, and that his release clause stood at €70M, more even than the €50M it has been reported they would sell him for. If this is how the Ukrainian club feel and not simply a counter-bluff, it would mean the deal is off.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite having scored 26 goals in 26 games this season, there remain concerns about Teixeira’s age and that he hasn’t put in numbers even close to this until the current season, which following the conflict with Russia and an exodus of talent sees the Ukrainian Premier League at its weakest in recent memory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This year’s numbers are bordering on world class. Teixeira has a goal or assist at a rate of 1.19 every 90 minutes. Elsewhere, Luis Suarez leads top scorers in Europe’s top leagues with 1.4, in Germany Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 1.3, and Gonzalo Higuain is at 1.18 in Serie A. England’s best, Jamie Vardy, is at 0.91.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The concern, though, is that those numbers have come when the Ukrainian league is at its weakest, and that last season he had 0.77 goals and assists per 90. The year before it was 0.38. Which means he’s either a late bloomer to become a star in a top league or just a very good player benefitting from a league’s decline.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Those feeling confident he’s a superstar lacking a platform will point to how highly rated he was as a young talent when he left Brazil. Those concerned will point out that, over the past two seasons, while he has 1.15 goals and assists per 90 in Ukrainian football he has only had 0.51 in European competition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Either way, with only three days left in the window, it’s looking increasingly unlikely we will get to find out whether Teixeira can adapt quickly to life in the Premier League, with Liverpool loath to pay more than €38M for the attacker and Shakhtar wanting €50M at the very least.</p>

<p>While Liverpool appear willing to raise their offer, they aren't willing to match a ludicrous €50M valuation for transfer target Alex Teixeira, and they're calling Shakhtar's bluff.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool have made one formal bid for Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Alex Teixeira, offering the Ukrainian club €32M up front plus add-ons for the 26-year-old. There have been rumours of a second, €38M bid, but while the English club appear willing to pay that much for Teixeira, there has not been a formal offer as yet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is largely due to the fact Shakhtar have held firm on a €50M valuation. Liverpool have shown signs of being willing to negotiate, but Shakhtar haven’t. Met with a complete unwillingness to deal, Liverpool have informed journalists with ties to the club that they are not hopeful of a deal getting done before the close of the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors" class="sbn-auto-link">transfer window</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Liverpool Echo and others are now suggesting that the club believe they have reached an impasse with Shakhtar; that they are no closer to securing the services of Teixeira than they were a week ago. It may be disappointing for many fans to hear—to hear that the club appear ready to give up and walk away—but it’s the right move.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Teixeira is clearly a talent, having scored 26 goals in 26 games this season. Yet he’s spent the bulk of his career in a weaker league. Ukraine are ranked eighth by UEFA, and that ranking will drop in the coming years due to that nation's conflict with Russia and the subsequent exodus of talent, one that has already taken a toll on the league.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In his first four years in Ukraine, Teixeira scored 41 goals at a rate of nearly one every four games. In the last two years, he has scored 48. In part that is due to a move to a more central position and his development as a player, but the role the weakening Ukrainian league may have played in his improved strike rate cannot be ignored completely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It also cannot be ignored that, for all his clear talent, Teixeira has yet to earn a single Brazil cap. He is a player with a wonderful goal return the past two seasons and a solid one before that, but he is entirely unproven at the highest levels of the game, which makes Shakhtar’s demands of €50M and unwillingness to negotiate a clear problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool’s reaction, then, has been to call Shakhtar’s bluff—or what they believe is a bluff. <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chelsea</a>, despite being interested in the autumn, have moved on and signed Alexandre Pato. Liverpool are the only serious suitor Shakhtar have left. Signalling that a €50M asking price is unreasonable, that Liverpool won’t be fleeced, is the right move.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Either Shakhtar are bluffing and, faced with the prospect of Liverpool walking away, will begin to negotiate. Or they're not bluffing and are fully determined to hold on to Teixeira unless someone pays €50M. Either way, Liverpool signalling they've had enough and are willing to walk away is the right and reasonable response to the situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now that Liverpool have done that, it’s up to Shakhtar to decide if they are willing to move from their unreasonable asking price to get a deal done or if they would rather gamble on sitting on an unhappy player for the next six months and seeing if a better offer materialises in the summer despite the current lack of interest in Teixeira at €50M.</p>

<p>Amid stalled negotiations the Brazilian attacking mid Alex Teixeira did not shy away from Anfield HQ's questions about the on-going transfer talks. </p> <p>As is typically the case with transfer sagas, the longer they go on, the stranger they become. A new twist happened yesterday as Alex Teixeira, while standing on the sidelines during a Shakhtar Donetsk friendly, decided to answer questions from Anfield HQ on camera.</p>
<p>Teixeira obviously wants to help push the deal through, but speaking out in this manner is both unorthodox and pretty disrespectful to his current club. Even Raheem Sterling was smart enough to let his infamous agent take the heat for his impending move to <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Manchester City</a> this summer.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it is a bit refreshing that a player is willing to take the responsibility for wanting a move to a bigger club. Far too often you see players figuratively throw their hands up and try to act as innocent third parties to the machinations of clubs.</p>
<p>"The team received one official offer from <a href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Liverpool</a>," Teixeira said in the interview through the help of a translator, "It was rejected, I don't know why. It was a great offer. It is frustrating. But the manager and club president decided against it. So now I'm waiting, trying to be patient."</p>
<p>"It is a huge club. So many great players have passed through there. It would be an honor to defend the Liverpool shirt."</p>
<p>"I've reached an age, 26 years old, in which I'm really looking to break into the Brazil team. 2018 may be the last <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/fifa-womens-world-cup" class="sbn-auto-link">World Cup</a> I have a chance to play in, so I want to go to a big club and show what I can do at the highest level, and hopefully be selected for Brazil."</p>
<p>The good news to come out of this is his obvious desire to play for Liverpool (big club? check), in England (big league? check), and to play for the Brazilian national team. Also, he and <span>Philippe Coutinho</span> are totes BFFs.</p>
<p>"I've played with Coutinho since we were 10 years old. It would be a lot of fun to play with him again."</p>
<p>Another noteworthy revelation from this interview is that Teixeira denied rumors of a second or third offer from Liverpool, as has been widely reported across the Interwebsphere. The full interview can be seen below.</p>
