Liverpool may reportedly face competition for the signing of Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes.
The Reds have been credited with an interest in the Portugal international ever since last summer. When the player was at Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool were linked with a move before he completed a £38m switch to Molineux.
Since then, rumours have emerged that Liverpool could make a move in the summer for Nunes. Various price tags have emerged, with the most consistent figure being in the region of £44m.
