Liverpool respond to £30m Nottingham Forest bid for midfielder as Cody Gakpo reacts to shock U-turn
Liverpool have rejected Nottingham Forest’s bid for Trey Nyoni, according to multiple sources, as Fabrizio Romano reveals how Cody Gakpo feels after the Reds decided against selling him to Manchester City.
Nyoni has been on the books of Liverpool since 2023 following his departure from Leicester City.
The 19-year-old midfielder is highly rated and has a bright future.
Nyoni has made 21 appearances for the Liverpool first team so far in his career, providing one assist in the process.
TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported on August 23 that Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola rates Nyoni highly.
Sources have told us that Liverpool did not sign any replacement for Curtis Jones following his departure to Inter Milan because of the teenager.
Bailey said at the time: “Before pre-season I am told that Andoni Iraola, aware of the Curtis Jones situation, was worried about the depth – one reason he wanted Jones to stay.
“Iraola also wanted work done on other options and we can confirm that was the case.
“A host of options were assessed – they looked at the Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes situations, but they were not right for them.
“But the likes of Adam Wharton, Alex Scott and Lamine Camara – very good young players – have been assessed and they like what they have seen and heard, but we are talking £50, £60 or even more than £70million in terms of deals.
“Then in comes Nyoni and he has blown Iraola away, they firmly believe he is first-team ready and can compete with the likes of Szoboszlai, Gravenberch and Mac Allister – they really see that as a midfield four and they even have Endo still around.”
