Liverpool want to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Nunes, and the midfielder appears to share an agent with Anfield stars Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Fabinho.
That’s according to the Liverpool Echo. Following reports from The Telegraph claiming the Reds are set to go back in and try to sign the Portugal international, details surrounding his representation have emerged.
As per the report, the 24-year-old is with the Gestifute agency, which was founded by Jorge Mendes.
It is said that the Merseyside club’s sporting director, Julian Ward, has a strong relationship with the firm and with a number of key figures leading it, having worked with them on the deals for Fabinho, Jota and Nunez.
As a result, this could mean negotiations could be quicker and easier to complete, making a £44m transfer from the Old Gold a possibility in the summer.
Nunes has the same agent as some Liverpool stars
The Portuguese player came close to making the switch to Anfield over the summer, but ultimately a deal failed to come to fruition.
However, The Telegraph report the Merseyside club had an agreement to go back in for Nunes, after he had become accustomed with the rigours of the Premier League.
In a Wolves shirt, the midfielder has not hit the heights he would have hoped for. Currently, the side sit 19th in the league table, and the former Sporting Lisbon man has made just one assist in 14 of these games.
However, it would be unfair to judge him on these stats alone, given he assisted just nine times in 101 appearances for the Portuguese club.
Hailed by former teammate Goncalo Santos as ‘unbelievable’ for what he does with the ball at his feet, Nunes is clearly a very talented player.
Therefore, if Liverpool do decide to add multiple midfielders to their ranks in the summer, the Wolves star should certainly be considered as a serious option.
