Liverpool were ‘ready to trade Darwin Nunez for Chelsea flop’ – but player said no

A shocking report has suggested Darwin Nunez could have left Liverpool this summer as they offered him as part of a swap deal for a former Chelsea striker

Liverpool reportedly had a swap offer involving Darwin Nunez for Chelsea flop Joao Felix rejected

Portuguese striker Felix scored just four goals in 20 appearances during his loan spell at Stamford Bridge for the second half of last season, with the Blues seeing their £10m loan fee go down the drain when he returned to parent club Atletico Madrid.

He hasn’t worked out in the Spanish capital for the 23-year-old since a £114m transfer from Benfica in 2019 and is back on loan again, this time to La Liga rivals Barcelona after a deadline.
the deal was completed.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Anfield officials were interested in signing him last month before the move materialized – and were willing to let Nunez leave in return.

Felix is ​​said to have rejected the move, also turning down other Premier League clubs Manchester United and Aston Villa, as his heart was set on Barcelona.

It was his childhood dream to perform for her and that’s why he burst into tears upon her revelation.

Given the Reds spent £64.1m on Nunez just a year ago, which could rise to around £85m with add-ons, the report is certainly a source of astonishment. His finishing was questioned but he still scored 17 goals in 46 games.

However, he only started one of Liverpool’s first four games of the season, with Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota the favorites. Jurgen Klopp addressed this issue after his two goals against Newcastle which earned them a 2-1 victory.

He said: “I understand the question, it’s clear he’s not happy.” It’s early in the season, we need to find stability and results.
He will play, there isno doubt about that.
We need everyone.
We need to find a way of playing

“This is a new team with new key players.
It needs time.
He scores two goals and can’t keep the smile off his face.
He was very important for the team. You need these things together.
You can’t force it.
I liked it until the last second

Despite Manchester United’s interest, the “exceptional” player had his heart set on moving to Liverpool this summer.

Ryan Gravenberch was interested in playing for Manchester United during the transfer window, but he has always had his heart set on joining Liverpool this summer.

According to a story from The Athletic, Bayern Munich only modified its position on selling the Dutchman 72 hours prior to the deadline.

The last acquisition for Liverpool during the window was Ryan Gravenberch.
After struggling at Bayern, the 21-year-old transferred in a £34 million deal.

He was having a lot of success in spite of his difficulties.
Gravenberch was obviously a target for Liverpool. But in their own search for a central midfielder, Manchester United also had their eyes on him.

Despite Manchester United’s interest, Gravenberch only had eyes for Liverpool.

Gravenberch reportedly only had eyes for Liverpool, according to The Athletic.
Before the deadline, Sofyan Amrabat would eventually be with Erik ten Hag.

According to The Athletic, some Liverpool employees have compared Gravenberch and Gini Wijnaldum.
Prior to the switch, he had lengthy conversations with Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk.

And it appears that the youngster was very interested in the opportunity to work with Jurgen Klopp. Gravenberch is a player with “exceptional talent,” according to Klopp.

Liverpool should be commended greatly for how they entered the window.
They lost so many midfielders, who were crucial to the team before.

And the new players appear to have a lot of potential.
Dominik Szoboszlai is off to an excellent start in Merseyside.
In the Premier League, Alexis Mac Allister has already demonstrated his abilities.

Wataru Endo could end up being an undervalued acquisition. Gravenberch is incredibly talented, too.
Therefore, there is already a fascinating group in the middle of the park for Liverpool.

Given how little Gravenberch did play for Bayern, it might take some time.
However, it seems that both Liverpool and the player honestly believe that the transfer is the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
