Liverpool are preparing for a pivotal summer transfer window, and it looks like one big-name player could be on his way out.
Darwin Nunez’s Anfield future in doubt with RB Leipzig & Napoli table big offers
According to reports from Spain, Darwin Nunez has attracted serious interest from both RB Leipzig and Napoli, with two offers exceeding £50 million already on the table.
The Uruguay international, who joined Liverpool in 2022 from Benfica in a deal worth up to £71.8 million, has had a mixed spell at Anfield.
Despite being labelled “wonderful” by former manager Jürgen Klopp, Nunez has struggled to find the consistency expected of him.
This season, he’s scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 44 appearances, but hasn’t quite cemented his place as the club’s go-to striker under incoming boss Arne Slot.
Slot is expected to oversee significant changes to the Liverpool squad this summer. With title ambitions and European success in sight, the club is actively scouting replacements across the board.
Right-back Jeremie Frimpong and Monaco’s Vanderson are both on the Reds’ radar as potential successors to Trent Alexander-Arnold, should he leave.
Meanwhile, Luis Diaz is also attracting attention from Saudi Pro League clubs, with a possible £68 million deal in the pipeline.
These potential sales would significantly boost Liverpool’s transfer kitty, opening doors to land marquee signings like Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
For Nunez, a move away from Merseyside could offer a fresh start. Though he’s shown flashes of brilliance, including 40 goals and 26 assists in 140 appearances, his inconsistency has often seen him fall behind Diogo Jota in the pecking order.
With Liverpool aiming to stay ahead in the increasingly competitive Premier League, selling Nunez could be a strategic decision rather than a sentimental one.
As things stand, the Reds are weighing up the offers, and Nunez’s future at Anfield hangs in the balance.
If a deal is struck, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter — both for the player and the club.
