Liverpool are interested in signing RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, according to reports.
The I Paper claim that the Norwegian, who has been capped 22 times by his country, is on a three-man shortlist of wide players who could be brought in to replace Mo Salah.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola and Nusa’s club teammate Yan Diomande are believed to be the other names under consideration.

One of the main goals for the summer transfer window is to get more out of record signing Alexander Isak. Even when fit, the striker has struggled to get the service he was used to at his previous club, Newcastle.
The I Paper report that Nusa is seen as someone (like Barcola and Diomande), who could give Isak a “better chance” of returning to his best form.
Liverpool have tracked the forward for many years
Nusa was first linked with a switch to Anfield in the summer of 2023, and during the January 2024 transfer window, respected journalist David Ornstein confirmed that the player was on the club’s radar.
However, the Reds were not in a position to make a move for him at the time. Jurgen Klopp had announced that he would be leaving at the end of the season, with sporting director Jorg Schmadtke leaving in the same summer.
Brentford appeared to be the favourites to snap up Nusa from Club Brugge, but he ultimately joined Leipzig instead the following August.
What have Nusa’s performances been like this season?
It is fair to say that the 21-year-old has had a solid, rather than a spectacular, season for Leipzig. He has scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in 34 appearances.
His teammate Diomande has taken most of the limelight, having found the back of the net 13 times and contributed 9 assists over the same period.
