Premier League transfer news and rumors: 30/5/22
As is often the case when confronted with the press, Jurgen Klopp would know more than he said.
After coming face to face with Darwin Nunes twice in a week in April, the Liverpool manager carefully chose his words when it came to discussing the qualities of the 22-year-old.
“He was physically strong, fast, calm around his final,” said the Reds boss.
“Okay, really good. I always say that in these situations, if he’s healthy, he has a great career ahead of him.”
It’s not known if Klopp – who also turned his head when he described Nunes as a “really good looking boy” in the week of the Champions League quarter-final victory over Benfica 6-4 – would have known exactly how things were then. but he would know enough.
Nunes, who scored a goal against Liverpool on both feet, would already be in the club’s sights. The Reds and their transfer squad have not reached where they are today and have set an impressive recent record of deals, not knowing everything there is to know about a striker who will score 34 goals in all 2021 tournaments. 22 .

The fact that he was doing this in Portugal would also make Liverpool’s research even more in-depth.
The Reds have a wealth of knowledge of the Portuguese Primera Division, with Klopp’s assistant Pep Linders and Reds development coach Vitor Matos with experience in Porto, Liverpool’s eternal opponents in the Champions League, who sold them Luis Diaz in January.
All this makes the transfer interest in Nunes this summer even more convincing and changes the game for Klopp’s team.
At the moment, the Reds have been told that they will need a record club fee to reward the Uruguayan from Lisbon, although they will hope that such a declaration of interest will lead Nunes to insist on relocation and the fee will fall somewhat.

Liverpool have no interest in getting involved in bidding wars for players, they often show that if the deal cannot be made on their terms, they will simply leave and so the alleged interest from Manchester United and Atletico Madrid is still threatening to throw a nut. key to some extent works, even if you can soon see both clubs withdraw.
This is because Nunes is now Liverpool’s number one goal and these goals are usually acquired.
And if the deal is concluded, it will be the biggest change in Liverpool under Klopp since the first six months of 2018, when Virgil van Dyke, Alison Becker and Fabinho signed, largely with the money that was brought in. for Philip. Coutinho.

Because, if there was any doubt before, Nunes’ move should clarify that Sadio Mane – this pillar of Liverpool’s attack since Klopp’s first summer in 2016 – will leave the club, with Bayern Munich expected to eventually came to the table with an acceptable offer after several weak attempts so far.
It is unfortunate that a modern Liverpool dream of a change of scene, but Klopp will probably not be able to resist against Manet, and sales in the region of £ 40 million probably seem ideal for all countries.
Add to that the fees that come for distant players like Takumi Minamino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nat Phillips and Neco Williams, and most of the fee for Nunes – if not all – will be increased.

Such slippery accounting is what Liverpool has become famous for in recent years, but this case will undoubtedly have the biggest impact on Klopp’s country on the pitch.
Nunes is able to play from the left and naturally likes to drift there regularly, but since Diaz is so dangerous on this side, it is safe to assume that the Uruguayan will be used more often through the center if he arrives at Anfield.
That would mean Klopp would buy a player as close to conventional No. 9 as anyone he ever signed for Liverpool, with Christian Benteke inherited when he joined in 2015 and Divok Origi, another gift. bequeathed to the German manager, used for his magical moments when necessary.

Indeed, Origi’s summer departure leaves a hole that may be underestimated outside of Liverpool’s bubble, especially given the toughness that awaits next season.
There will certainly be games in the upcoming campaign that will require a more conventional number 9, with a huge volume of matches and the introduction of five substitutes, which means that Klopp’s tactical flexibility can and should be rewarded as his country seeks to explode outside the blocks in an exhausting year.
Perhaps Manet’s use as No. 9 in the final months of last season can now be seen differently in the context of his likely departure, as instead of bringing a new dimension to the player, it was done to benefit the team. for an upcoming tactical setup.

Since Mo Salah is still available for at least another year and is so dangerous on the right, Diogo Hota will certainly get a fair share of participation and goals in the attack and Roberto Firmino still signed for another season, Nunes will join the talented attacking group.
But he would also change it by trying to subdue it to his will and give him every chance of it when Klopp’s Liverpool 2.0 or 3.0 is needed.
The opportunities probably don’t get much more exciting in today’s game, both for the player who potentially joins the group and for the manager who seeks to develop it.
