1. Alex Teixeira - Shakhtar Donetsk
Liverpool's white whale this transfer window has been Alex Teixeira. The Reds have reportedly been informed that the Brazilian will only leave if his release clause (
an eye-watering £53 million) is met. Although undoubtedly a player with star quality, Teixeira seems a curious target for Klopp's side - simply because they already have an abundance of attacking midfielders. The 26 year old has been on a tear as of late, notching 22 goals in just 16 league appearances for the Ukrainian side. Capturing him would likely generate a lot of buzz around Anfield, given his reputation as a fearsome attacking threat, but Klopp may decide that the price is too steep for a player so untested beyond Brazilian and Ukrainian football.
