Liverpool have been sent a warning by one of their former players over making a move to sign Matheus Nunes.
The Reds have been frequently linked with a move for the midfielder over the last few months. The rumours first emerged last summer when he was at Sporting Lisbon, before he completed a £38m move to Wolves.
Despite being a new player at Wolves, the rumours around Nunes' future have not stopped. And reports last week emerged that Liverpool were still interested in the player.

One report even suggested that Liverpool could sign Nunes at the end of the season. However, it remains to be seen whether the Reds will actually make a move for the player after just one season in the Premier League.
Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson believes that, if the Reds are to sign Nunes, they may have to pay double what Wolves paid in order to get a deal over the line.
“It's hard to believe that Wolves would sell one of their main men for a £6 million profit,” Johnson told Betfred.
“If Liverpool offered Wolves double what they paid for him then they’d probably usher him out of the door. I think Wolves would certainly hold out for more money, but I definitely believe he’s a good player and he’s caught the eye of many clubs.”
