Liverpool Are Ready To Entertain Offers For This Talented Forward: Good Move For Both Parties? | OneFootball

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, journalist Pete O’Rourke mentioned that Liverpool are ready to entertain offers for Darwin Nunez this summer. O’Rourke said, “Darwin Nunez does not figure in Arne Slot’s plans.

“Liverpool were hoping they could sell him to Napoli, but that deal fell through, so they’re waiting on other clubs to come in for Nunez.

“Those other clubs interested in the Uruguayan know that Liverpool are desperate to offload him, so they’re holding out to see if they can get him on loan.

“There are a lot of dominos to fall into place for this deal to happen.

“Now that Luis Diaz is gone, that’s money Liverpool have got in the kitty to put towards Alexander Isak.

“If Nunez were to go as well, it would clear space in the squad and give them the money to go and tempt Newcastle with a new bid to sign him.”

Nunez’s Inconsistent Season In The Premier League

Nunez struggled to find consistency for the Merseyside club in the previous campaign but managed to score some important goals for them on their road to the Premier League title. The Uruguay international netted seven goals and earned seven assists in 47 appearances for the Reds last season in multiple competitions.

The 26-year-old did well to average 2.7 shots per 90 minutes in Premier League football. He kept 38.2% of his attempts on target. However, the Artigas-born talent was a bit untidy with his ball distribution, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 70.9% in the top tier of English football (stats via fbref.com).

Liverpool Are Ready To Entertain Offers For Nunez: Good Move For Both Parties?

Nunez has the pace to cause some problems for his marker in the final third. He can be a streaky goal-getter in front of the opponent’s goal and has got the eye to play some decisive passes up top.

The Uruguay international can also strike the ball with venom from long range. However, he needs to find a way to be more consistent in the opposition half.

At the moment, Nunez is not a guaranteed starter for the Merseyside club. Hence, Liverpool might be inclined to cash in on him and use the money generated from his potential sale to bring in a suitable replacement in this summer transfer window.

At 26, Nunez needs regular first-team starts if he wants to be a world-class striker someday. Thus, it will be a good move for both the player and the Merseyside club to part ways with each other this off-season.
