Report: Liverpool Eye Two Darwin Nunez Replacements Amid Morgan Gibbs-White Interest

Liverpool are reportedly assessing two potential replacements for Darwin Nunez, while also holding a ‘concrete’ interest in Morgan Gibbs-White as the January transfer window progresses.

The window is now open, raising the question of whether Liverpool will make any significant moves this month. With Arne Slot’s side performing impressively in the Premier League, strengthening the squad could further boost their title ambitions.

However, much of the club’s attention might be focused on retaining key players, with the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah still uncertain.

Amid reports suggesting Real Madrid are increasing their pursuit of Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s focus may not currently be on bringing in new talent. Nevertheless, several names continue to be linked with a potential move to Anfield.

Today’s transfer rumours include speculation about two possible replacements for Darwin Nunez, along with reports of Liverpool’s apparent interest in Morgan Gibbs-White.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle)

Liverpool are reportedly considering Marcus Thuram and Alexander Isak as potential replacements for Darwin Nunez, according to TeamTalk.

The report suggests that the Reds are open to selling Nunez, although a January departure seems unlikely, with a summer transfer appearing to be a more realistic possibility.

In anticipation of a potential exit, Liverpool are said to be evaluating alternatives. Inter Milan’s Thuram is described as a ‘wanted man,’ with the French international reportedly having a release clause of $89m (£71m/€85m). This figure is significantly lower than the fee Newcastle would likely demand for Isak.

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)

Liverpool reportedly hold a ‘concrete’ interest in Morgan Gibbs-White, according to Football Insider.

The Reds’ recruitment team is said to have identified the 24-year-old as a priority target for both the January and summer transfer windows.

Nottingham Forest are expected to reject any offers for the midfielder this month. However, a summer deal could become more appealing if the right price is offered.

Thought

It might be the right time for Liverpool to begin considering potential replacements for Darwin Nunez, although it doesn’t seem to be an immediate priority.

Alexander Isak is an appealing option given his current form, but with reports suggesting a $188m (£150m/€181m) price tag, Marcus Thuram appears to be the more practical choice.

While Morgan Gibbs-White has performed impressively this season, another attacking midfielder doesn’t seem like a logical addition for Liverpool.

With Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott already occupying similar roles, it’s hard to envision the Reds pursuing another player in that position any time soon.
