Jurgen Klopp claims Darwin Nunez deserved a red card

Darwin Nunez has been marginalized in Liverpool’s starting lineup under Arne Slot, but the Reds have made their stance known in the face of Saudi Arabia’s interest. Nunez, who spent a lot of money moving from Benfica to the Reds in 2022, has dropped in the hierarchy under Arne Slot this season. Nevertheless, he has continued to contribute with significant goals, including a game-winning brace away at Brentford. The Uruguay international was the target of a January transfer attempt by Saudi team Al-Nassr, but they have now moved on.

They are considering Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface and Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran. Later in the summer, when Al Nassr will also be at a crossroads with leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, things might still change. However, it has been asserted that Nunez is not moving at this time. The Athletic reports that Al-Nassr has a verbal agreement in place regarding a transfer for Boniface. Six goals from ten league games this season have been scored by the Nigerian international, who assisted Leverkusen in winning the Bundesliga the previous season.

Liverpool respond to approach for Darwin Nunez with £59m bid

Nunez was criticized by Paul Merson last week for making Mohamed Salah feel “a bit claustrophobic” when they were on the field together. I am aware that Darwin Nunez made a fantastic cameo against Brentford off the bench, Merson stated. However, he should start this game as the center-forward, in my opinion. Before Nunez joined the team, Mohamed Salah was a great player! Salah feels a little claustrophobic when Nunez stays up front, in my opinion.

According to the same magazine, Nunez is seen as a crucial member of Arne Slot’s trophy-chasing team. It also mentions that if the 25-year-old is made available in the summer, there will be a sizable market for him. He was included in Slot’s 21-man roster for their Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, even though the manager left senior players like Mohamed Salah at home.
