Liverpool are reportedly looking to sell 25-year-old Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez during the summer transfer window.
According to an update by French journalist François Plateau, Darwin Nunez is frustrated with his situation at Liverpool, and he will look to play regularly next season. A move away from the Premier League champions would be ideal for him. Liverpool will demand £70 million for the Uruguayan international, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay up.
Italian champions Napoli were heavily linked with the South American in recent weeks, but they have chosen to move on to other targets due to his asking price. Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in the Uruguay international as well. They have the resources to pay the £70 million asking price for him, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
The former SL Benfica striker struggled for regular game time at Liverpool last season, and he is not a key player for them. He needs to move on in search of regular playing time. It remains to be seen whether he is prepared to move to Saudi Arabia. Liverpool need an upgrade on him this summer, and they have been linked with Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. They have brought in Hugo Ekitike to help with goals as well.
Liverpool need an upgrade on Nunez
Darwin Nunez contributed to only 14 goals in all competitions last season, and it is simply not good enough at a club like Liverpool. It is no surprise that Liverpool are looking to bring in an upgrade. Meanwhile, the South American is still at a stage where he can recapture his peak form and get his career back on track. He needs to join a club where he will get ample opportunities.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The 25-year-old will look to compete at a high level, where he will be able to fight for trophies. If Liverpool manage to recoup £70 million for the striker, it would be a masterstroke from them. Although they paid a premium for him, the player has been quite underwhelming since joining the club, and clubs will hope to sign him for a knockdown price.
