English Premier League leaders Liverpool will not be pushing to sign Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze when the summer transfer window opens for transfer .
Coach of Liverpool Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of the Nigerian and has tried to sign him twice during the last two transfer windows before settling for Takumi Minamino.
When the transfer window opens Chukwueze won’t be among the targets of Liverpool even though they are prepared to let Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri leave if a suitable offer comes in.

The reason is still tied to the buy out clause in the deal of the 21 year old with Villarreal not willing to drop a penny from the €60 million stated in his contract .
With the impact of Coronavirus on the finances of clubs due to the lockdown, Liverpool see Chukwueze as too expensive to be signed this summer and that will likely mean another season at Villarreal for the Nigerian.
