KOPTALK sources state that Liverpool will today table a final transfer bid for Alex Teixeira.
The Reds have had 2 bids believed to be £24.5m and £29m rejected already with Shakhtar Donetsk holding out for closer to £38m. However a compromise could be reached by the end of the week with well placed sources claiming that there has been some progress since the weekend.
We were informed on Sunday that the difference between the two valuations was then at £7m but we are unsure of what the exact figures were at that stage.
The latest we are hearing is that “Shakhtar Donetsk will negotiate a little further” but Anfield officials are concerned as to how they would then want the deal structuring if a fee is agreed. With time running out, it could go to the wire with further negotiations possibly needing to take place regarding that.
As Liverpool look set to table another offer today, we would expect to see some fresh chatter start to filter out from credible sources as we approach the end of the week, possibly even starting from late this evening.
It may not be Liverpool’s final offer but that is the impression they will try and convey today.
