Liverpool have been publicly on the hunt for a new midfielder throughout the summer and this transfer window, but it appears that a man who escaped and moved to another Premier League club in August could still be a target for the Reds.
As reported by Sky Sports News: “Liverpool maintain an interest in Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes, but Sky Sports News have been told they are more likely to seek a deal in the summer than in January.”
It seems odd enough that we could have signed the Portuguese international for a reported fee of £38m, but now we’re back for the same man just five months later and are now looking to ‘try to sign him for £44m’, but Sky Sports News has been told has said this fee is unrealistic, as Wolves value him at over £50m.’

The main concern for many of this report will be the fact that we are again willing to wait until the end of this season to strengthen the team, especially after a crushing loss to Brentford at the weekend.
With Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Arthur Melo missing the match in west London and the uncertain future of the last two mentioned players, along with Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, many feel the time to get stronger is next month.
It seems the collective hope of all our fans is that we sign Jude Bellingham, but some contingency plans will need to be put in place and the Wolverhampton Wanderers star could be that plan B.
Of course, we’ll have to wait and see, but there will undoubtedly be so many names linked with a move to the Reds in the days and weeks ahead, something that won’t go away if performances like Thomas Frank’s team continue.
