Liverpool Considering Late Move for Wolves Midfielder Matheus Nunes

Liverpool are reportedly considering making a late bid for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes before the summer transfer window closes. The Portugal international has long been on Liverpool’s radar, with interest stretching back to his time at Sporting CP.

Nunes impressed in Wolves’ recent 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. He completed 6 dribbles, made 5 interceptions, 3 tackles and won 2 aerial duels, demonstrating his all-around midfield abilities.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is believed to be a big admirer of Nunes’ versatility. He can play as a deep-lying playmaker, on the wings, or behind the striker. This versatility could help solve Liverpool’s midfield selection issues.

The Reds’ midfield looked vulnerable in their recent 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Nunes could provide extra quality and depth in the centre of the park.

Wolves fans admit Nunes can sometimes go missing in games, but he tends to deliver in big matches. His stunning volley to beat Chelsea last season proves he can produce in crunch encounters.

Nunes is on Liverpool’s shortlist alongside Nice’s Khephren Thuram and Leicester’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as they aim to strengthen their midfield before the window closes.
