Today’s rumours have a striking familiarity
As each hour ticks by following the bongs of Big Ben, Liverpool fans are ruminating. Their soon-to-be-out-of-contract trio, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk (listed here in order of wantaway-ness according to straw polls/pub chats on Merseyside), are allowed to talk to other clubs. But who and how many? Real Madrid are sniffing around the former – although a July deal looks far more likely – while no news could well be good news on Salah and Van Dijk?
The Egyptian and the Dutchman aren’t giving much away but the same can’t be said of Darwin Núñez. The Uruguayan striker is the subject of strong rumours linking him to Milan and it looks as if the silly sausage has only gone and fuelled them via that classic faux pas: liking a post on social media. Yep, Núñez, it appears, has given the thumbs up emoji to an image of him wearing a Milan shirt; not a mock-up but a real one after he swapped jerseys at the end of Liverpool’s win in San Siro earlier this season. Naturally, internet wags have been quick to suggest that he went to like a different post but missed.
