The Liverpool continues to work on planning its squad for the current Premier League season, taking into account that they have suffered a significant loss: Thiago Alcantara. The Spaniard suffered a serious injury that will make him miss several games and will force Jürgen Klopp to rotate in the midfield where he does not have pieces that can offer him the same as him.
The German coach would have his sights set on a footballer who can arrive this summer and who can take on the role of Thiago Alcántara within the starting team. We are talking about Matheus Nunes.
Matheus Nunes, Liverpool’s new target to replace Thiago
As reported by Correiro da Manha, Liverpool is interested in taking over the services of Matheus Nunes in this summer transfer market with the intention of making up for the loss of Thiago Alcántara and continuing the process of renewing the squad that, in various areas, he is already old.
The 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder has just been an important player in Ruben Amorin’s team in recent years. He arrived at Sporting CP in January 2019 and made the leap to the first team in May 2020. Last season he scored 4 goals and provided 5 assists in 50 games played, being important in the vast majority of games. He has 100 first-team appearances at just 23 years old.
It is a profile that can play both as a midfielder and inside, being a profile that can also contribute in the possible absence of Fabinho or Jordan Henderson. He is a player that Klopp likes a lot, who knows that he needs to continue strengthening the squad so as not to move away from the fight for the titles.
