Liverpool target Alex Teixeira told Shakhtar Donetsk he wants to leave the club and push through a move to Merseyside this week, while Genoa's Mattia Perin is the latest goalkeeper to be linked with a move to Anfield.
According to Sky Sports, manager Jurgen Klopp's side may have moved in front of Chelsea in the race to sign Teixeira after Liverpool reportedly made an offer worth £25 million for the 26-year-old.
The Reds are hoping Teixeira will join a burgeoning Brazilian contingent at Anfield following the summer arrival of Roberto Firmino.
