– Looking at Nusa
Antonio Nusa is high on Liverpool’s wish list, and that he should be a hot option that the Merseyside club could end up pursuing. Nusa’s teammate at RB Leipzig, Yan Diomande, has also been a name that is constantly mentioned in connection with bigger clubs – including Liverpool.

The attempt this autumn is to bring in new lightning wings on the wings that can “prop him up”. PSG winger Bradley Barcola is also said to be one of the options Liverpool are looking into.
Good season in Germany

The road so far for Antonio Nusa
Antonio Nusa was born in 2005 in Norway, but has both Norwegian and Ivorian backgrounds. He started his career at Langhus and Stabæk, before making the move to Club Brugge in Belgium in 2021 as just a 16-year-old. The transfer attracted a lot of attention, and he quickly became one of Europe’s most sought-after youngsters.
At Club Brugge, he developed into an explosive and technically strong winger. In the summer of 2024, he moved on to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga for a transfer fee of around €20 million. However, his first season in Germany was marked by getting used to and fewer minutes than he had hoped for.
Now, in his second season for Leipzig, he has really started to flourish. With several goals and assists, he has become a crowd favorite in Germany. He has also established himself on the Norwegian national team, where he is considered one of Norway’s greatest hopes for the future. With his speed, dribbling skills and ability to create imbalance, he is exactly the type of player Premier League clubs that Liverpool are looking for. A move to England could be the natural next step for the youngster.
