Liverpool poached Atletico Madrid s talented forward, Guardiola Guardiola s former complimentary disciple, and he did not hesitate to add Nunez to the deal

Recently, according to Spanish media fichajes, Liverpool has taken in La Liga Atletico Madrid's forward player Alvarez.

Fans familiar with Alvarez know that he was once a compelling favorite under Guardiola. After joining Atletico Madrid last summer, he quickly gained a foothold in La Liga. With his outstanding running position, in-going sense and active off-ball pressure, he became the sharpest sharp blade in Atletico Madrid's frontcourt. According to data, he has played in 51 games in various competitions, and has contributed 27 goals and 5 assists to Atletico Madrid, making him the number one scorer in Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool's sports director has a unique vision. He believes that Alvarez will be the key player for coach Slot to start a new coaching cycle in the future. In order to get the Argentina international, Liverpool will launch a fierce pursuit of Alvarez this summer. To facilitate the deal, Liverpool not only prepared funds, but also considered adding Uruguayan striker Nunes to the deal to meet Atletico Madrid's needs.

This season, Nunes has many opportunities to play in various competitions, but the number of goals is not satisfactory. He missed opportunities many times in front of the goal, which gradually reduced the trust of coach Slott in him. Nunes' position has become increasingly awkward in the competitive Liverpool front line. Judging from the data, he scored 40 goals and sent 26 assists in 138 games for Liverpool. Such data is obviously not ideal for a striker who joins with a high transfer fee. Its net worth in the German market also dropped from 70 million euros at its peak to 50 million euros.

Now, Liverpool believes that if Nunez is used as a bargaining chip, plus another fee, may convince Atletico Madrid to facilitate this deal by Alvarez. After all, Atletico Madrid has always been very interested in players like Nunez with excellent physical fitness and certain potential. For Nunes, if he can transfer to Atletico Madrid, it will be an opportunity to change his destiny.

In fact, there are different voices within Atletico Madrid for the deal. The coaching team led by Simeone naturally does not want to let Alvarez go from the perspective of tactical value; but the club's sports department considers the team's operations and club recruitment budget, believes that only by selling Alvarez can the club survive healthily.

Can Liverpool finally sign Alvarez from Atletico Madrid this summer? Let's wait and see.
