Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly removed a clause in the contract of Matheus Nunes that would allow Liverpool to trigger a deal for the midfielder in the summer.
Nunes completed a £38million move to Molineux last summer from Sporting Lisbon despite interest from the Reds and Manchester City, but has failed to live up to his potential so far in the Premier League.
And The Telegraph subsequently reported that, when Nunez switched to the Premier League, Liverpool and Wolves agreed a clause that would see the Reds commit to a £44m bid to bring the midfielder to Anfield one year later, in summer 2023.
