Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool are pursuing a deal to sign Gremio forward Gustavo Nunes during the upcoming summer window.
Liverpool are ready to battle Manchester City and Arsenal to sign Gremio forward Gustavo Nunes during the summer transfer window. Nunes has enjoyed a steep rise in his reputation despite his young age, catching the eyes of top European clubs.
The 18-year-old has already broken into Gremio’s senior team after putting in consistently impressive performances at the youth level. His standout performances showed that he can already play at the senior level for the Brazilian club.
Nunes prefers to play as the left-winger, using his close control, dribbling ability and directness to threaten the opponents. His style of play is unpredictable even when he prefers to cut inside a lot to make shooting opportunities.
The 18-year-old has the versatility to play in both left and right wings for the team according to the requirements. He likes to start from a wide area to have the space to make long progressive runs with the ball.
Nunes is also a set-piece specialist which shows the incredible technical ability that he possesses along with his composure. He is still developing his raw talent despite showing the maturity and capacity to feature at the senior level.
Fichajes reported that Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are planning to raid Gremio and sign Nunes during the summer. European clubs are highly coveting the 18-year-old due to his rapid rise to the top and immense potential.
The Reds have a strong attack department and a fantastic Academy which many young attackers are currently developing. Gustavo fits the profile that Liverpool desires in an attacker but his valuation could become tricky with many interested clubs.
