Liverpool will not sign Saul Niguez ‘unless there’s a change of heart
Journalist James Pearce via The Athletic reported about the update on the likelihood of Saul Niguez ending up at Liverpool. According to the report, the club are unlikely to sign the Spaniard. He has been offered to a lot of clubs. However, Saul’s wage demands are currently an issue. Pearce does not see a deal unless Liverpool change their stance.

The report added that Saul has indeed been given the green light to leave. The Spanish side consider him non-essential after the arrival of Rodrigo de Paul.
