Liverpool set for New Chapter after Darwin Nunez
Liverpool are planning to sell Darwin Nunez this summer. According to sources, they want €65 million for him. Nunez has been linked to several clubs in Europe and also Saudi Arabia. However, Nunez would prefer to stay in Europe and compete for top titles.
Liverpool signed Nunez for €100 million in 2022 but they are now willing to sell him at a loss. Former Executive Keith Wyness has said, “Liverpool would be making a big loss here, and they’ll have settled for that loss as well… for his point of view, I think a break into a different style of football… would do him very well.”
This Departure shows Liverpool’s recruitment and team plans. They have recently signed Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez for a combined fee of €200 million. Now to balance their finances they need to sell some of their players. Also, Liverpool want a new striker as Nunez has failed to take his chances and make his place as a starter. The Reds now are strongly interested in Viktor Gyokeres and his signing would be done only if Nunez Leaves.
Darwin Nunez needing a New Chapter after Liverpool
Top Journalists have reported that Darwin Nunez is seriously looking for new offers. He believes he wants a new challenge in his career. Although he likes Liverpool but he could not make his mark in the Reds team. Also, the club feels that Nunez may not become a starter for Liverpool and a striker like Gyokeres suit them better.
Napoli insider and Former Teammate Walter Gargano has confirmed, “Nunez? … He told me: ‘Yes, I’ll come to Naples right away. I’m waiting to close with Naples’.” This shows that Nunez might be playing in Serie A next season.
Hurdles, Risks
Although Darwin Nunez has not scored much goals, he is still liked by Liverpool fans for his commitment. Replacing a player loved by fans will not be easy for the Reds.
Liverpool might prefer selling Nunez to a Saudi Club as they would give a good price for him. However, Nunez prefers to stay in Europe, and this might become a problem for Liverpool to get good money. Also, if Nunez leaves, Liverpool will have to sign a new striker. This becomes difficult as a top striker is not easily available in this year’s transfer market. Gyokeres is linked to Liverpool, but his deal is complicated due to competition and internal issues.
If Nunez leaves but Liverpool fails to do Gyokeres deal, they would be in a big problem next season. This might become a hurdle for Liverpool in letting Nunez go if a replacement is not planned.
