# Wolves: Liverpool will ‘continue to retain an interest’ in Matheus Nunes

**[Transfer insider Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer) has shared that Liverpool will ‘continue to retain an interest’ in Matheus Nunes, despite him signing for [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/).**

### The Lowdown: 2023 move?

It was [reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-premier-league-matheus-nunes-transfer-news-updates-klopp/) last week that the Anfield outfit are considering a move in 2023 for Nunes after missing out on him in the summer transfer window.

They were showing [interest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-premier-league-matheus-nunes-transfer-news-updates-3/) in the Portugal international last month, but he ended up moving to Molineux from Sporting, leaving the Merseyside outfit scrambling for a last minute loan deal for Arthur Melo.

### The Latest: Will retain interest

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88061546-liverpool-klopp-will-retain-interest-in-42m-star-at-anfield), Jones has shared that the Reds will ‘continue to retain an interest’ in Nunes, despite him only recently joining Bruno Lage’s side:

*“Liverpool were actually interested in him before he joined Wolves.*

*“So, they will continue to retain an interest* *there, but Wolves can’t think about it right now – all their focus is on how this current group of players can turn around the season.”*

### The Verdict: Worrying

It is certainly worrying to hear of Liverpool’s continued interest in Nunes, especially so soon after he signed for the Wanderers.

The Portuguese maestro joined the Old Gold in a [club-record](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11699/12674958/matheus-nunes-wolves-sign-sporting-lisbon-midfielder-in-club-record-42-2m-deal) deal, and so they will not want to lose him so suddenly, especially considering that he has been one of their [best performers](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolves) so far this season.

However, if the Reds came calling for his signature, it may be difficult for Nunes to turn down, considering the [history](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liverpool-fc/erfolge/verein/31) of the club and the fact that they have been [challenging](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/platzierungen/verein/31) for the Premier League and Champions League titles over the last few campaigns.

All that said, Nunes has a contract in the Midlands until [2027](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-nunes/profil/spieler/601883) so they are under no pressure to sell him straight away, with Fosun sure to bank a big profit if he does move on.
