Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Mateus Nunes next summer as an alternative to Borussia Dortmund teenager Jude Bellingham. Despite the midfielder joining Wolves a matter of weeks ago.
The Reds will need to strengthen their midfield in the near future due to the likes of Thiago Alcantara, 31, Jordan Henderson, 32 and James Milner, 36, being in their thirties. Fabinho, 28, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 29, are also entering the back end of their careers, while Naby Keita, 27, has less than 10 months remaining on his existing deal.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had admitted they need to sign a new central midfielder, but only if that player is right for his team. Arthur Melo, 26, was brought in from Juventus on a season-long loan on deadline day as a temporary solution to their midfield woes.
