      Nunez was admired by Paul Winstanley during Chelsea’s sporting director’s stint at Brighton.
      According to The Times, Winstanley enquired as to whether the striker would be available for the Blues to sign last summer.
      It had been rumoured that Liverpool were open to flogging Nunez, with a potential switch to Atletico Madrid in exchange for Joao Felix having been mooted.
      As it happened the claims were false, with the Reds rebuffing the Blues and keeping hold of their hard-working forward.

      But he is already being linked with an exit in the summer as two of Europe’s biggest clubs – both of whom he played for – circle for his signature.
      With Jurgen Klopp announcing he will leave Anfield at the end of the season, Alonso has been tipped to take over from the German.
      But Liverpool now face competition from Bayern after it was confirmed on Wednesday that boss Thomas Tuchel will depart in the summer.
      And according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, Alonso is “more willing to join Bayern Munich instead of joining Liverpool”.

      The reporter also went on to state that both clubs have “enquired” about bringing Alonso in.
      However, the ex-Spain midfielder remains focused on his job at Leverkusen.
      Alonso, who is unbeaten after 22 Bundesliga games this season, received a seal of approval from Klopp to replace him at Anfield.
      Last week, the outgoing Liverpool manager said: “Xabi is doing an incredible job.

      Alonso, who in the past has referred to managing Liverpool as a “dream”, spent five seasons at the Reds, playing more than 200 games and winning both the Champions League and FA Cup.
      After five years at Real Madrid, he then joined Bayern where he claimed three Bundesliga titles and the German Cup.

      Juve, however, believe that they may have found a way to trump their Premier League rivals in the race for Olise’s signature.
      According to the Telegraph, the Italian giants could offer Matias Soule in part-exchange for Olise.
      Soule, 20, has spent this season on loan at Frosinone.
      The winger has excelled with the Serie A side, scoring 10 goals in 23 appearances.

      Prior to this season he played 21 times for Juventus’ first team, having joined from Velez Sarsfield as a teenager.
      Olise, meanwhile, has endured an injury-hit season at Selhurst Park.
      The French Under-21 international missed the first 11 games of the campaign with a hamstring issue.
      He subsequently scored six and assisted a further three goals in 11 games upon his return to action, only to suffer another hamstring injury.

      Olise endured the setback 11 minutes into a substitute appearance at Brighton, with his side already trailing 3-0.
      Explaining his decision to bring his talisman on, then-boss Roy Hodgson said: “It boils down more to the fact that when there was a chance that he could be available, basically everyone got together and decided perhaps he can be available.

      “But we need to start him on the bench, maybe only bring him on in the second half, that’s where we all were.
      Then I suppose we strode blindly ahead, but it’s not easy when you’ve got a player like Olise on the bench to turn around and say ‘by the way you just sit there and watch the game because we don’t need you’.
      “That’s not quite so easy, and there was no indication from us that he was happy to do that, but of course Michael’s a quiet guy so that’s the other unfortunate part of this whole equation.
      “Another player might have come and said ‘I don’t think it’s worth it, I don’t think I need to go on, I’d rather have a bit more time’ – but we can’t expect that of him.
      “That’s not fair to expect that of him, he’s just going along with what he thinks the whole of the club thinks so it was the perfect storm in every respect.”
      Olise won’t be available to new boss OIiver Glasner for a while, having been ruled out for around two months.
