Liverpool Data Puts €65M-Rated PSG Standout on Their Radar to Replace Darwin Núñez | OneFootball

There’s a possibility Liverpool could turn to a data-driven approach to target a signing from PSG as a potential replacement for Darwin Núñez.

PSG are in the UEFA Champions League final this weekend against Inter Milan, with a chance to win the first-ever trophy in the competition. However, despite the success, some players may decide it’s time to move on and seek new opportunities after the season ends.

The capital club have secured the Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France for the second consecutive year under Luis Enrique, and they remain in contention for one more trophy. PSG won the Coupe de France final and now have their attention on Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Among those potentially on the move is Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese forward has made 40 appearances this season, contributing 18 goals and six assists, but his future in Paris remains uncertain heading into the summer.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Ramos, according to Anfield Index. While the 23-year-old is not at the top of the club’s wishlist, the report claims he’s under consideration as part of a data-driven, “Moneyball”-style approach to recruitment.

Ramos joined PSG on a permanent deal following an initial loan spell, with the French club paying €65 million (approximately £54.7 million) for the Portugal international.

CaughtOffside recently reported that interest in Gonçalo Ramos is starting to heat up, with a potential deal still very much in play. Newcastle, Aston Villa, Napoli, and Juventus are all keeping tabs on the PSG striker, while Arsenal and Manchester United are also said to be looking to strengthen their attacking options this summer.

Ramos’ role at PSG has come into question, especially with manager Luis Enrique often preferring Ousmane Dembele in the No. 9 role. That decision could be a clear signal to the former Benfica forward that he may not be viewed as a first-choice striker moving forward.
