Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been linked with a summer move away from the Merseyside club, with Napoli and RB Leipzig interested in him.
Darwin Nunez has been very underwhelming since the big-money move from SL Benfica, and Liverpool are open to selling him. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool have received two offers to sell the Uruguayan international this summer. Napoli and RB Leipzig are keen on the player, and they have offered €60 million to sign him.
Saudi Arabian clubs are keeping tabs on him as well. Nunez has 14 goal contributions this season, and he needs a fresh start. A move away from Liverpool would be ideal for him as well. There is no doubt that he is a talented player with the ability to succeed at the highest level.
However, the move to Liverpool has not worked out for him. He has been underwhelming in front of the goal, and his decision-making in the final third has been poor as well. Liverpool need a reliable centre-forward, and selling him would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get rid of him and sign a player who will score goals consistently.
A €60 million offer could be tempting for the Reds this summer. Although Liverpool paid a lot more for him, they will not be able to recoup that kind of money after his recent performances. They will have to cut their losses on the striker this summer.
Napoli or RB Leipzig could be ideal for Nunez
Napoli are well-placed to win the Serie A title, and they are looking to improve their squad further. Darwin Nunez would be a quality acquisition for them in the final third. He is capable of operating as a centre-forward as well as a wide player. His versatility will be a bonus for the Italians.
The Serie A giants are a big club, and they are pushing for major trophies. The player could be attracted to the idea of joining them next season. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig are in need of a quality attacker as well. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for Nunez. They have been overly dependent on Benjamin Sesko for goals and creativity. Signing another attacker will be a priority for them this summer.
The South American attacker has the potential to do well in Italy and Germany. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Nunez needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he must seek game time assurances before committing to a move.
