The report adds that discussions between Nunez and Atletico have already commenced, with the only ‘issue’ being that Liverpool and Atletico are struggling to negotiate a deal.

Cadena added that Nunez would be ‘delighted’ to join the La Liga giants, with everything already being discussed between the club and the player.
