Enzo Fernandez and Jude Bellingham, Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez. The two most acclaimed midfielders of the moment have been on the books of Europe's biggest clubs for several months now and their moves to Chelsea and Real Madrid appear to have put Liverpool out of the running.

As a result, Jürgen Klopp is beginning to resign himself to the task of securing the arrival of either of these two stars and has therefore set his sights on the Premier League's own new preferred alternative to strengthen the Reds' midfield next summer, Matheus Nunes, according to The Telegraph today.

After Brentford humiliation, player leaving Liverpool

The current Wolverhampton player is one of the sensations of the season in England despite the difficulties that the team managed by Julen Lopetegui is having in the standings, currently in second to last position, and his level has already caught the attention of the best clubs in the competition, not all of them.

Liverpool are best positioned to close the signing of the 24-year-old Portuguese player, but Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have not yet neglected this option. However, it is worth noting that the recent disappointment with Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez, two players Klopp has been keeping an eye on in recent weeks with a view to bidding for them, has sparked a greater degree of urgency at Anfield to strengthen the creative department.

Klopp insists on Matheus

The team's numerous problems in this area, partly due to the constant injuries to key players in this area, have made it clear that the German coach does not want to delay an offer that could be made as early as this January, given Liverpool's need to strengthen their midfield, the wide range of future options that Matheus Nunes has accumulated and, above all, the clash with Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League: his asking price from Wolverhampton is set at 40 million.
