In the past few days, it has come out that Liverpool would be looking at the possibility of signing a new midfielder due to the amount of injuries in the position. One of the players that Liverpool have been monitoring is Brazilian (playing for Portugal) Matheus Nunes who plays for Portuguese giants, Sporting Lisbon.
Nunes is a 23 year old, central defensive midfielder who plays as a number 8 for Sporting Lisbon, he has a similar style of play to Thiago due to his technique and passing abilities. He would fit perfectly into the Liverpool team as well due to the fact that he plays in a 4-3-3 formation at Lisbon.
Nunes is also 6ft tall so that is another benefit as he can easily win headers in the centre of the park.
As well as his attacking and passing abilities, Nunes can track back and is smart about his decisions for when to intercept and tackle a player to win the ball.
Signing for Lisbon in 2019, he has played a total of 75 games, racking up 19 goals and 12 assists and he has only missed 1 game due to injury and the injury was Coronavirus.
Looking at Nunes’ style of play, he looks like a great fit at Liverpool and he could even be the missing piece to the puzzle. Plus, his lack of injuries is a great sign which Klopp and his team should look at.
Personally, I think we should go for him and it sorts out problems out for the midfield position for now. However, this may mean that Bellingham is out of the picture for next year as a new midfielder won’t be required.
