Liverpool are prepared to admit defeat in their pursuit of Henrikh
Mkhitaryan, who looks likely to join Borussia Dortmund.
The Reds have long tracked the highly-rated Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker
although the price has proved to be a stumbling block to concluding a
deal.
New interest from Champions League finalists Dortmund has also
complicated matters, and Liverpool are now likely to turn their
attentions elsewhere.
The Armenia international is valued by Shakhtar at £25.5 million
although Dortmund are believed to have tabled a bid of £19.5 million.
Dortmund were also linked to Ajax's Christian Eriksen.
Shakhtar manager Mircea Lucescu warned Mkhitaryan that joining
Liverpool, who are not competing in the Champions League, would be a
mistake.
