Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu insists the Brazilian is worth €50m and the player himself has said Liverpool had a bid someway short of that valuation turned down.
"The team received one official offer from Liverpool. It was rejected, I don't know why," Alex Teixeira told Anfield HQ.
"There's
only been one offer -- €32m -- and Shakhtar rejected it. I know my
agent is still attempting everything possible to help get me to
Liverpool."
He added: "It was a great offer. It's frustrating. But
the manager and club president decided against it, so now I'm just
waiting, trying to be patient."
The 26-year-old recently said he is ready to leave Shakhtar and would like to play in the Premier League. "I want to be at Liverpool, but that is up to the club president now. I can only hope. I don't know what else to say," he said.
"Every
time I'm asked the question where I want to move to, I always say the
Premier League. For me, it's the best league in the world. I believe in
myself and I feel that would be the best move for my career."
He
added on Liverpool: "It is a huge club -- so many great players have
passed through there. It would be an honour to defend the Liverpool
shirt.
