Fabrizio Romano confirms new Liverpool talks for forward
According to Fabrizio Romano Liverpool have entered direct talks with Napoli over the future of Nunez on Tuesday. According to Romano the club's have entered talks to discuss the conditions of the Nunez deal.
What that means remains to be seen. It's clear that Napoli are a serious candidate for Nunez, but whether they can pay the sums that Liverpool will be looking to sell him for, remains to be seen.

There is the possibility that Liverpool could strike a deal, which may involve other players. That way they get more for Nunez, and it could see someone like Victor Osimhen being involved as part of the deal.
Undoubtedly those discussions could also be taking place. It would not be a surprise.
Anfield Watch revealed back in January that Liverpool have Osimhen high on the list of targets to replace Nunez. That has not changed. Although the Nigerian's wage demands remain a major obstacle.
However, if that's something that Osimhen can overlook in favour of a move to Anfield and playing in the Premier League, he would certainly be the perfect option for Liverpool.
Osimhen is pretty much an ideal modern day forward who will score goals for fun. He's still relatively young and very much in the prime of his career.

Lyon relegated to French soccer's second tier amid ongoing financial problems
Seven-time French champion Lyon was relegated to the second tier on Tuesday because of ongoing financial irregularities. The decision followed an audit of the club's finances by the French league's soccer watchdog, known as DNCG. French sports daily L'Equipe estimated Lyon's current debt at 175 million euros ($203 million). Lyon was expected to appeal the decision. The decision comes after the DNCG had already provisionally relegated Lyon to Ligue 2 in November, with the club reporting at the time that it had more than 500 million euros ($581 million) of debt. A transfer ban was also imposed in the January transfer window. Lyon is owned by American businessman John Textor, who has stakes in Brazil's Botafogo and Premier League team Crystal Palace. Textor was present for the hearing in Paris on Tuesday. He had been optimistic it would be successful for Lyon, which has been trying to balance the books. On Monday, Premier League side Crystal Palace announced that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson signed 'a legally binding contract' to buy Textor's shares. Textor has a 43% stake in the London club. Reports have placed the price between $220 million and $260 million. Two weeks ago, Lyon received a much-needed cash injection by selling coveted playmaker Rayan Cherki for 36 million euros. But the club has been under growing pressure. Two years ago, the DNCG decided to monitor the club's transfer activities, saying its moves on the market would be limited under 'a framework for wage costs and transfer indemnities.' Lyon won its seven league titles from 2002-08 and reached the Champions League semifinals in 2020. Lyon narrowly lost to Manchester United in the Europa League quarterfinals and missed out on a cash windfall when it failed to qualify for next season's Champions League after finishing sixth in Ligue 1.
