Antonio Nusa to Liverpool: The €50m deal that makes sense
Antonio Nusa to Liverpool: The Yan Diomande pursuit is dead. He picked PSG, packed his bags for Ligue 1, and left Andoni Iraola staring at a massive gap in his attacking plans. No clean solution in sight. Disappointing, yes. Season-defining? It doesn’t have to be. Tucked inside the very same RB Leipzig squad that housed Diomande is a 21-year-old Norwegian who has quietly built a compelling case of his own. According to Fussballdaten, Leipzig will sanction his exit for €50m (approximately £42.8m).
That player is Antonio Nusa. What used to be a fallback option is suddenly looking like a bloody good piece of business.
Leipzig hold all the cards, but they aren’t being stubborn. They carry no desperation to offload him, yet the hierarchy will negotiate the moment a bid hits that €50m mark. Sky Germany reports the true valuation might stretch closer to €60m. With a host of heavy hitters interested, Liverpool cannot afford a slow-motion transfer saga. Newcastle, Juventus, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Bayern Munich are all monitoring the situation this July. If the Reds want him, they need to act now. (Via Liverpool.com)
The player Liverpool would actually be getting
Born in April 2005, Nusa turns 22 next spring. Forget the “raw prospect” label. This isn’t a project player you hide away in the cup games. He racked up 86 first-team appearances for Stabæk and Club Brugge before his teens were even over. Then came the €21m switch to Germany in 2024. He didn’t blink. Across 31 Bundesliga appearances in the 2025/26 season, Nusa registered four goals and three assists. Those numbers helped secure a third-place finish and a return to the Champions League. His average FotMob rating sat at 7.16. Not flashy. Just solid, consistent, and remarkably reliable.
The World Cup has only amplified his profile. Norway recently brushed aside the Ivory Coast, Diomande’s own country, in the last 32, with Nusa grabbing a goal. Three group-stage wins from three, with the winger clocking vital minutes throughout. He has confidence and timing on his side. Rarely do you get both in the same window.

Liverpool have already splashed around $46m on Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna this summer. It is a practical rebuild after that painful fifth-place finish last term. One Football describes Nusa as an ideal addition to Iraola’s attacking unit. He fits a system built on heavy pressing, constant rotation, and raw width. Leipzig have him under contract until 2029, so they possess leverage. But every player has a price. Rival clubs are ready to make the move. The real question is whether Liverpool choose to firm up their interest before someone else forces their hand.
