While Nusa is thought to be generating interest from the Reds, should he ignite interest through his performances at the World Cup this summer, his price tag could rise even further.Securing his signature could prove tricky.
While Nusa's RB Leipzig team-mate, Yan Diomande, has been the name on the lips of Liverpool fans when it comes to new signings for some time, the club have reportedly distanced themselves from a swoop for the winger.According to the Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, the Reds are just not that impressed with the 19-year-old's output. Yet his steep price tag, combined with his age and the fact that Liverpool will be looking for a sure thing when it comes to recruiting Salah's replacement, means an expected transfer could actually be wide of the mark.Red Bull chief Oliver Mintzlaff has also insisted that only a huge fee could force his team to release Diomande, making any deal difficult to pull off."I can say: If I were sporting director, I wouldn't sell this young player, who hasn't even completed a full season with us," he told Sky Germany.
