At the start of the summer transfer window, Liverpool were linked with Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez while Diego Simeone’s men were linked with captain chaos.

But now that Angel Correa has chosen to leave the La Liga outfit and join Tigres [ESPN], Simeone may well choose to explore a deal for Nunez once again.

And, since the Reds want to get rid of the striker and Antonio Conte has no competition, the Serie A outfit are trying to get as much money off the deal as possible.

In Liverpool’s case, Atletico coming back in for Nunez would be ideal as it would give them a much stronger leg to stand on, especially if both teams end up seeing him as an ideal target.
