Alex Teixeira - Spotlight on
Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Shakhtar Donestk forward Alex Teixeira, according to reports.
The Reds were looking at striking a deal worth £30m for the Chelsea target after having their initial bid of £24.6m rejected by the Ukrainian outfit.
However, according to the Daily Mirror, Shakhtar are not willing to budge on their £37.6m asking price as they seem determined to get the best price possible for their prized asset.
A high-level insider confirmed: "We haven't walked away from it, but the valuations of both clubs remain far apart."
Alex Teixeira, Kasper Schmeichel, Inaki Williams
Liverpool are hoping to fend off interest from Manchester United to sing Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, according to reports.
The Daily Mirror claim Jurgen Klopp wants to sign the Foxes shot-stopper to provide competition for Simon Mignolet.
The Reds are believed to have contacted Premier League leaders Leicester about a move but their enquiry was dismissed.
Louis van Gaal is considering a move for Schmeichel as a potential replacement for David de Gea should he leave Old Trafford.
