LIVERPOOL have rejected a £30million ($40.7m) bid from Nottingham Forest for England-born Zimbabwean teenage midfielder Trey Nyoni, making it clear that the 19-year-old remains part of coach Andoni Iraola’s plans.
According to The Athletic, Nottingham Forest submitted a package worth £30m for Nyoni, including £25m guaranteed and a further £5m in potential add-ons.
Liverpool rejected the proposal and currently have no intention of selling the talented youth international.
talkSPORT reports that Nyoni is expected to play a meaningful role this season following Curtis Jones’ move to Inter Milan.
The midfielder signed a long-term contract last summer and has already accumulated more than 20 senior appearances despite his age.
Nyoni’s long-term importance is also reflected by Liverpool’s official website, which highlights his rapid progression from the academy into the senior setup.
He became Liverpool’s youngest-ever player in European competition and has been pushing for more regular first-team minutes during pre-season.
