Liverpool are eyeing Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes as a possible transfer target, along with other candidates, but Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham remains their priority for that role, Fabrizio Romano writes in the Daily Briefing in exclusive to CaughtOffside.
Nunes has impressed in spells at Sporting Lisbon and Wolves and looks like he could be a good fit for Jurgen Klopp’s red squad, which is sure to need a major facelift in the near future.
The Portuguese international would surely help Klopp bring in a new generation of midfielders as it seems increasingly clear that the German tactician needs to think about long-term successors to aging stars like Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Thiago Alcantara.
Still, Romano insists that Nunes is just one of several options for Liverpool, and that his focus remains a deal for Dortmund and England wunderkind Bellingham.
The reporter also insists that nothing is likely to happen with Nunes in January, so it could be that we will have to wait until the summer to see who LFC prioritizes in the transfer market.

“Liverpool are monitoring Matheus Nunes along with other candidates for the summer transfer window,” Romano said.
“He has always been appreciated, even when he was at Sporting.
“The main focus is still Jude Bellingham, Nunes is one of the midfielders they like; but nothing will happen in January for Nunes”.
