Liverpool have 'strong chance' of completing £42.5m Matheus Nunes transfer

The summer transfer window is officially open and Liverpool will be looking to get some business done in the next few weeks.

Jurgen Klopp was busy in the early throes of the window by bringing in three new players. Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay have all been signed by the Reds this summer.

Anfield sources have indicated that Liverpool are happy with their transfer business this summer, and do not envisage any more incomings before the window closes. However, that does not stop rumours over possible new arrivals from swirling and gaining attention.

Here, we take a look at some of the latest rumours doing the rounds online and on social media and how likely they are to happen.

What?

According to the report, Liverpool have a strong chance of signing Nunes from Sporting this summer.

It has been claimed that, following Sporting’s move to sign Francisco Trincao on loan from Barcelona, the Portuguese club will only enter the market to sell players this summer.

Sporting have already let one of their prized assets leave the club, with Joao Palhinha moving to Fulham.

The report goes one step further by claiming that Liverpool signing Nunes is a “strong possibility”, with the player apparently having a £42.5m asking price on his services.

Who?

Amadou Onana, Lille midfielder.

What?

According to the report, Liverpool are one of several teams who are showing an interest in signing Onana.

The midfielder has been frequently linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, and those rumours are increasing.

It has been claimed that Liverpool are joined by West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Newcastle in expressing an interest in Onana.

However, despite Liverpool being credited with an interest, it has been reported that Onana is more likely to move to London if he is to leave France.
