Fabrizio Romano pitches in on Nunes to Liverpool with fresh transfer update | OneFootball

The Italian journalist concurred with James Pearce’s update on the matter with a tweet online, reiterating the Reds’ prior desire to do business with Borussia Dortmund for global sensation, Jude Bellingham.

Two reputable accounts disputing claims on the matter would certainly appear to have killed fans’ hopes of the Reds completing a fourth senior summer transfer.
