Liverpool make their stance clear after rejecting £30m Premier League bid for midfielder

Liverpool have rejected a sizeable £30 million offer from Nottingham Forest for teenage midfielder Trey Nyoni, making it clear that the 19-year-old remains part of Andoni Iraola’s plans.

Forest are searching for another central midfielder before the transfer deadline after selling Elliot Anderson to Manchester City earlier in the summer.

Nyoni emerged as an ambitious target, but Liverpool have wasted little time in turning down the approach.

Liverpool reject £30m Nottingham Forest offer

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 England youth international.

The stance is understandable given the club’s midfield situation. 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.
