Liverpool are keen on signing yet more midfielders after they finalise a deal for Alexis Mac Allister, with Wolves’ Matheus Nunes still a name of interest.
There was talk back in January that Nunes is a player who Liverpool have a lot of admiration for. However, there was never any concrete bids and Nunes has remained at Molineux.
But according to ESPN, the interest from Liverpool has not gone away and he remains a player of interest to Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool still tracking Matheus Nunes
The Reds are believed to be close to landing Mac Allister from Brighton. Multiple reports suggest a deal is all but done, although nothing official has filtered through just yet.
But as well as Mac Allister, the Reds are keen on adding more. And according to ESPN, Nunes is one of the players FSG and Klopp are looking closely at.
Nunes is mentioned alongside names we’ve covered in the last few days such as Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone.
The Wolves midfield would cost more than £40m if they did want to entertain a sale. Described as being one the fastest midfielders in the league by Ruben Neves, Nunes has quietly gone about his business since signing for Wolves.
RTK’s View: A name that won’t go away
Make of this what you will, but Matheus Nunes remains a player who keeps getting a mention when it comes to Liverpool.
We all know the Mac Allister deal is going to get done now and attentions seem to turning to who might follow him through the Anfield door.
Nunes is a player we’ve coveted for some time. But whether or not Wolves will sell, remains another matter entirely.
Clearly, Nunes is a midfielder who Klopp can’t stop bringing up to the board. And eventually, we might just see a concrete offer go in to test the waters over at Molineux.
