With his injury problems and physical limitations hindering his ability to feature on the pitch, Thiago has previously opened up on his 'jealousy' of players such as Núñez, who possess immense pace and strength.

Speaking to Liverpool’s Walk On magazine a year ago, Thiago said: "When you are into the game, when you are living the game, you just react.

But this is life, we always want what we don't have."

While Thiago is heading for the exit door this summer, Núñez is also being linked with a move away from the club.

The 24-year-old recently deleted all Liverpool-related photos off his personal Instagram profile, which has only fuelled speculation regarding his future.

However, the fact a player of Thiago's calibre and knowledge is "jealous" of the traits Núñez possesses sums up what the Liverpool striker could be capable of.

Liverpool.com says: While Thiago does not possess pace and strength, he has his desirable characteristics that Núñez is probably envious of.
