Why Alex Teixeira Is the Player Liverpool Will Regret Not Signing in January

Deciding which player Liverpool will regret not signing in January is a pretty straightforward task, with the club going five hours without a goal since their negotiations for Brazilian attacker Alex Teixeira came to an end.

Teixeira was the Reds' primary, and seemingly only, target in the January transfer window, with the club offering €32 million and a €4 million bonus, according to Shakhtar Donetsk's general director, Sergiy Palkin.

The Ukrainian club wanted €70 million (£53 million) for the 26-year-old, though.

Liverpool's decision not to pay over the odds for Teixeira is one that manager Jurgen Klopp says he fully supported.
