Liverpool are set to shelve their pursuit of Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes - as the Reds target would be ineligible to feature for Jurgen Klopp's side until the 2023/24 campaign.
Nunes, 24, was linked with a move to Anfield back in the summer before Wolves swooped in to make the Portuguese ace their club-record signing in a £38million deal. However, reports earlier this week claimed that Liverpool had rekindled their interest in Nunes and were plotting to prise him away from Molineux in January.
Klopp's side have major issues in midfield and are expected to try and bring in reinforcements this month. But it has emerged that pursuing a deal for Nunes in the winter transfer window would do little to solve those problems.
