Sporting will not be able to hold onto reported Liverpool target Matheus Nunes for much longer, according to former Red Abel Xavier.

According to former Liverpool midfielder Xavier – who is also Portuguese and claims to be “very close” to the club’s transfer structure – talk of Nunes’ future will soon reach a conclusion one way or another.



There has therefore been a definitive switch of focus to Portuguese football and Portuguese talents.



However, 19-year-old midfielder Carvalho has also settled in well.



Liverpool have added three new signings this summer, with the trio all exciting talents for the present and the future.

Sporting midfielder Nunes is a name that has cropped up a lot, with the Reds supposedly ready to open talks.

And Liverpool’s midfield will be the key area to watch this season.
