A. Teixeira: "Shakhtar" shouldn't have rejected "Liverpool" offer

26-year-old attacker Alex Teixeira was disappointed that Donetsk's "Shakhtar" rejected Liverpool's offer for him, as the footballer wants to play in the English Premier League.

According to reports, Liverpool made a £25 million offer for A. Teixeira to the Ukrainians, but it was rejected. "Shakhtar" is asking for £35 million for the Brazilian who has been in excellent athletic form this season, so the clubs will have to negotiate.

"Shakhtar" received an official offer from Liverpool," said the footballer. "However, it was rejected and I don't know for what reasons."

"It was a great offer, so I am disappointed that it was not accepted. Liverpool is a big club, and it would be a great honor for me to play there.

My agent is doing everything to move me to Liverpool. The Premier League is the best in the world, and I believe that moving there would be the best step in my career," added A. Teixeira.

Since 2010, the Brazilian belonging to the Donetsk team has scored 26 goals in 25 matches this season.
