Liverpool are open to selling Darwin Nunez if they can get a sum of £50-60 million in this market, as the Uruguayan has fallen down the pecking order.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool could sell Darwin Nunez for a fee of around £50-60 million in this market. The sale could materialise either now or in the summer, as any January move would depend on the club’s ability to find a replacement.
There’s a lot of talk about Darwin Nunez, and the focus has been on his current performances this season for Liverpool. His yield of four goals from 23 games across all competitions has brought the spotlight on the Uruguayan and what happens with his future at the club.
New manager Arne Slot has not preferred to use the 25-year-old first-team star in his starting lineups as the main focal point. Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and even winger Luis Diaz have been ahead of Nunez in the pecking order, which has cast doubts baout the Uruguayan’s long-term prospects.
Nunez’s problem has been missing plenty of sizeable opportunities in front of goal, which Arne Slot has not tolerated. There have been recent links with AC Milan, and Nunez liked a social media post with a similar story.
Liverpool could potentially sell Nunez for a good price if they can get a decent fee in exchange that comes close to their valuation. The report states that Nunez was Liverpool’s record signing, with the deal with Benfica going up to £85 million. Given his form, Liverpool are unlikely to get anything close to that sum.
Liverpool to sell Darwin Nunez for £50-60 million
Liverpool are open to cutting their losses on Darwin Nunez and selling him for less than what they paid Benfica. The report states that the Merseysiders could offload the 25-year-old first-team star for as much as £50-60 million in this window or the next, which will seem like a decent price to let one of the most renowned strikers leave.
The Reds could then use the money from the sale to reinvest in their squad, and one might suspect that Arne Slot will not replace him. Instead, Liverpool could use the money to strengthen their defensive ranks as well as land a midfielder, as Nunez’s long-term future at the club has come under considerable doubt.
