Darwin Núñez offer $62m transfer raise as Real Madrid hold ‘talks’ over Liverpool star

Media Digest: Liverpool could be backed by an unlikely source in the race to sign a Premier League star as an Anfield legend could be on his way to La Liga.

Darwin Núñez can increase the transfer by 62 million dollars

It seems not a day goes by without Liverpool being linked with a midfielder move and there’s a feeling that excitement will only grow in the months to come. The likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Jurgen Klopp have long been cited as potential targets for the Reds, but another Premier League star could still be a solid option for Jurgen Klopp.

Of European and international heritage and experience in the English top flight, Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rúben Neves would certainly fit plenty of criteria for the Merseysiders. According to Football Insider, Liverpool have entered the race to sign the Portuguese midfielder with Molyneux’s club putting a $62m (£50m/€58m) price tag on his head. What could also give the Reds a boost in their battle to land the 26-year-old is the fact that Darwin Núñez is represented by the same company as the former Porto star – Jorge’s Gestifute agency. Mendes. With Neves’ contract ending at just over 12 months, it feels like his days in the Midlands may be numbered.

Real Madrid move could lure Anfield legend

With Liverpool fans having bid farewell to Roberto Firmino over the past few weekends, it’s safe to assume there will be keen interest in what the future holds for the popular Brazilian. It looks like a move to a former European rival could well be a possibility.

There’s no doubt that the outgoing Reds striker still has a lot to offer. A move to a league with a slightly slower pace would probably be a good fit for the 31-year-old. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, a move to Real Madrid – so often the scourge of Liverpool on the European scene in recent years – could attract Firmino.
