The Reds boss says supporters must trust the club's decision not to pursue a move for the midfielder after they had several bids rejected
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool supporters must "trust" the club's decision not to sign Alex Teixeira in the January transfer window.
Liverpool were reportedly priced out by Shakhtar Donetsk after the Ukrainian club demanded substantially more than what the Premier League side offered for the Brazilian.
The English giants reportedly put in a £38million bid for Teixeira, but Shakhtar wanted close to £50m for the 26-year-old.
And Klopp has urged Liverpool fans to stand by the club's decision not to pursue the forward.
"It’s very, very important that, yes, you can trust us," the German said.
"It was a common decision [on Teixeira]. We said, 'We can't play this game until the end'.
"We made offers, I won't say too much about that, but they were realistic, absolutely, with the premium of it being January, the Premier League, all the plusses you have when you make negotiations.
