The Reds confirmed to the Premier League that they had offered fresh terms to the 23-year-old, but it appears Porto has trumped the Merseyside outfit in offering Teixeira a return to his homeland.
ESPN FC's Peter O'Rourke understands that a contract was agreed upon over the weekend and that Porto beat out a host of clubs for the former Sporting Braga and Sporting CP trainee.
