Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club ahead of the summer transfer window.
Darwin Nunez has been quite inconsistent, and he has attracted a lot of criticism in recent months. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Joao Pedro as a potential replacement.
Nunez has 11 goal contributions this season, and he is open to joining a Saudi Arabian club in the summer. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward with an offer to sign him after Al-Nassr failed with a winter move.
Liverpool paid a premium for the Uruguayan international, and they will look to recoup as much as possible for him. Saudi Arabian clubs certainly have the finances to pay a big-money sum for the player.
Meanwhile, Joao Pedro has done quite well for Brighton & Hove Albion, and the 23-year-old would be a quality acquisition for Liverpool. The Premier League will not want to sell the player easily, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can break the bank for the Brazilian international.
Liverpool need a reliable goalscorer
Liverpool must improve their attacking unit in the summer, especially with Mohamed Salah’s long-term future being uncertain. The Egyptian will be out of contract in the summer, and he has not signed an extension yet. Liverpool will need to replace him adequately and add more goals to the side.
The 23-year-old Brighton striker has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. Playing alongside top-quality players at Liverpool could help him improve further.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get rid of the deadwood in the summer and bring in players who can help them improve and fight for major trophies amid their links with Joao Pedro.
The Reds are currently on top of the Premier League table, and they will be hoping to win the Premier League. They have made it to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League and the finals of the EFL Cup as well.
The opportunity to play for them will be quite exciting for Pedro, and he will want to test himself at the highest level. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly.
