LIVERPOOL could still pull off the signing of a new central midfielder for Jurgen Klopp this summer...

I would say that Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today," the Spaniard said. Well, the only problem with that player!" Instead, he allegedly declared he was willing to remain with Sporting for another season in the build up to the World Cup. Wolves were recently in negotiations with Sporting but the player was seemingly against a move to Molineux. Sporting are reportedly seeking £40m plus £5m in add-ons in order to agree to the sale of Nunes. Chelsea recently explored a deal while Manchester City have also taken a look at the player, who is set to feature for Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar.

But that doesn’t tend to be the way Liverpool work in the market. Having missed out on Aurelien Tchouameni earlier this summer, Nunes looks to have similar attributes to the Frenchman. Whether or not there’s any substance to the rumours is another matter.

Firmino looked sharp before that, though, and his link-up with Salah was promising. Bajčetić will hope more senior minutes come when the proper season starts. While Firmino faded as the first half went on, he certainly started very well. This was a reminder to Núñez of exactly what he will need to bring to the table to get into the starting XI regularly as well as the goals. Núñez, a second-half substitute, netted twice in a couple of minutes, first from the spot and then a neat finish after a slight touch into his path from Trent Alexander-Arnold. He completed his hat-trick when he was teed up for a close-range poke home by Harvey Elliott and added a fourth when teed up by Fábio Carvalho. Salah was Liverpool’s brightest player for much of the game and finished early on in the match to give the Reds the lead.

Trent then lays the ball off for Nunez, who takes a touch and drives it across the face of goal into the far corner. The keeper gets a strong hand on it, but the shot is too powerful and cannot be kept out. Penalty! Luiz Diaz tries to pounce on a loose ball, and gets there ahead of the goalkeeper, who cleans him out. And the full backs continue to look like the best in the world at their respective positions. That was extended to a full half for most key starters in the second match. On defense, both center backs done well to keep things quiet and have stepped out on numerous occasions to intercept a pass and start a new attack.

The transfer chatter out of Portugal has the Reds making a move for yet another Liga star.

In part, it’s said, because Liverpool’s local rivals Everton might just have started sniffing around the €45M-rated central midfielder. Which brings us to Sporting CP’s Matheus Nunes. The arrival of Luis Diaz in January and Darwin Núñez this summer, though, both of whom were first linked in the Portuguese press, means that it’s hard to write off such rumours as might have been the case in the past.

Match Report: Liverpool Vs RB Leipzig - Pre-Season Friendly (Sports Illustrated)

Liverpool meet German outfit RB Leipzig in Deutschland as the red's look to make more strides towards opening day in their third test.

The Reds' first competitive match of the season is on July 30 against Manchester City in the Community Shield, and they have preseason games left versus FC Salzburg and Strasbourg.

Mohamed Salah scored eight minutes into the game as Jurgen Klopp and company continue their preseason ahead of the start of the Premier League on the weekend of Aug. 6.

Liverpool can unlock their own 'Kevin de Bruyne' as extra sessions ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool have not had the same number of goals from midfield as Manchester City have with Kevin de Bruyne. But that might change for Jürgen Klopp this ...

The data suggests he was fortunate to net so often, but at least he was making more of his opportunities. A serious injury prevented Elliott from amassing a noteworthy sample of shots for us to assess, but what limited evidence there is from 2021/22 suggests he did need to work on making the most of his opportunities. In other words, while his xG might suggest Elliott deserved to score in the league last season, once finishing was accounted for he did not. Kevin de Bruyne averaged 3.1, while other players who also featured further forward at times (such as Demarai Gray and Raphinha) were ahead of the Reds’ youngster, but that was about it. Yet while the staff at the club in those days was stocked with wall-to-wall Red legends, it was only a handful of people. While not included, throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark has become well known for his work with the club too.

Several Liverpool players impressed on Thursday night at the Reds beat RB Leipzig 5-0, with Jürgen Klopp getting a hint from a Pep Lijnders favourite.

That Liverpool have kept him among their ranks for the pre-season trip to Austria shows that Klopp and his assistant are still thinking along the same lines. At the heart of their defence, Liverpool are well-stocked. Bajčetić slotted in as if he were a player with considerably more experience than his 17 years, and looked immediately at home.

Darwin Nunez gives glimpse of exactly why Liverpool invested so ... (The Athletic)

Darwin Nunez was mocked on Liverpool's tour of Asia but got off the mark with four goals against Leipzig. He gives Klopp something different.

They can be more direct with balls in behind for him to chase with his speed and power, and they can sling crosses into the box for him to attack. He opened his body up in an attempt to find the far corner and did so as the ball squirmed through the keeper’s grasp. Having used 32 players in each of the games in Asia, there was more structure and fluency to this contest. Nunez’s second showcased the kind of technique and clinical streak that saw him score 34 goals for Benfica last season. Klopp had urged supporters not to dwell on the size of the price tag after Liverpool agreed to pay Benfica £64million ($76.7m), potentially rising to a club record £85million, for Nunez’s services. However, Nunez’s arrival after the break provided Liverpool with a new dimension.

Four goals in 45 minutes: Darwin Nunez silences trolls to give ... (Goal.com)

Darwin Nunez scored four goals as Liverpool beat RB Leipzig 5-0 on Thursday, offering encouragement to Jurgen Klopp ahead of the new Premier League season.

“But he’s a really good one!” As is so often the case, one goal swiftly brought two. It’s probably not the best idea to give attention to those who crave it, but even elite footballers are human. Bad news for the trolls and the social media ‘football banter’ accounts, for sure. How stupid the Uruguayan’s critics must feel this morning. “I’m not sure if it’s a clause in his new contract to be generous as hell!” joked Klopp, but he, Salah and Nunez will have been delighted to see the ball fly into the corner of the net via Blaswich’s fingertips.

Keïta has rarely looked as accomplished as he did in the second half of last season, and it could lead to an internal evolution. Indeed, it's worth noting that Henderson is seen not only as a competitor for the number eight role, but also as Fabinho’s effective back-up. Fabinho-Thiago-Keïta was only the midfield of choice for four games last season. It’s possible that Klopp envisages a slightly different role for Henderson in pre-season. Then there’s the midfield. And there may be hints about team selection too.

David Moores, former Liverpool chairman and owner, dies aged 76 (The Guardian)

The former Liverpool chairman and owner David Moores, who oversaw the winning of 10 trophies from 1991 to 2007, has died at the age of 76.

He was chairman when Graeme Souness became the first Liverpool manager to be sacked since 1956 in January 1994 and, working closely alongside then chief executive, Rick Parry, oversaw the appointments of Roy Evans, Gérard Houllier and Rafael Benítez as manager. Moores was an heir to the Littlewoods retail empire, founded by his uncle Sir John Moores, Everton’s chairman in the 1960s and 1970s. The club legend said on Twitter: “Marina and I are both very saddened by the passing of David Moores. He was a loyal Liverpool fan whose dream came true when he was appointed chairman and he did a tremendous amount to help the club.

Many of the links for Portuguese-based players, it must be said, are coming from Portugal, where perhaps agents are trying to drum up interest in their clients and using Liverpool’s recent business as a driver. The timing of this makes sense as both Naby Keïta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contracts will expire in a year’s time (although it’s likely that the former will renew at some point). Despite most good sources saying all summer that Liverpool will not do business in regards to looking at bringing in another midfielder, that hasn’t stopped the mill from churning out name after name.

They made diagonal runs in opposite directions, and it led to the simplest of chances. In fact, of Rafa’s nine assists for the Uruguayan, this was the only cross from a wide area. When Rafa made his move, and the defensive line instinctively dropped, Núñez would follow. He did tee up for a header for Núñez against Lech Poznań in October 2020, but that was from the edge of the six-yard box. And the numbers attest to it. With Salah established as the team’s leading goalscorer and shot-taker, how much disruption might the arrival of Núñez cause?
